Dan Gordon’s comics are terrific - they shine with cartoon energy.

One of the talents I’ve noticed about Gordon is that he can make a cartoon character fun AT ANY ANGLE. He handles the perspective with skill, and he makes you laugh at the same time! Check out how fun he can draw the backs of dog heads…
