Bill Plympton

One of the sickest, most twisted, and funniest modern-day animators around! Bill Plympton is a legend in his own time, not just because his cartoons are howlingly funny – he draws the entire cartoon himself, every frame of it! His rough, non-realistic style is instantly recognizable, from those Geico car insurance commercials to the MTV-sponsored cartoons. He's even written, produced, and drawn two full-length feature films, entitled The Tune and I Married A Strange Person. I've had the honor of meeting him in person – he's a real down-to-earth type of guy who enjoys what he's doing, and considers himself lucky to be making a living as a cartoonist.

(That's "Plympton" with a Y. This should attract everyone Googling for "Plimpton!" )
