Glenn Beck by Daniel Clowes.
“I was asked by the NYT to draw Glenn Beck for the cover of the Sunday  magazine - apparently, he wasn’t going to sit down for a photo-shoot  with the Times and so they had to hire an illustrator for their big  profile. I had been longing to draw his blubbery face for some time and  happily agreed. I turned in the illustration on a Monday and was told  that Beck had in fact agreed to come in and sit for a photo over the  weekend, so they couldn’t use my illustration. Thanks for telling me.  The B&W photo they used was perhaps a bit more complimentary to Mr.  Beck, so I’d say he made a good call.”

Self portrait by Daniel Clowes.
“Likable characters are for weak-minded narcissists. I  much prefer the Rupert Pupkins and Larry Davids and Scotty Fergusons as  my leading men.”

Wilson / Daniel Clowes (via ohfrak)
“Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of one-sided conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest, self-negating sense of humor.”
Released April 27 2010.
