We lost an incredibly talented cartoonist last year, Gahan Wilson. For more than 50 years, his twisted single-panel cartoons have appeared in magazines like Playboy and The New Yorker. His work always had this really distinct tone. Wilson's take on the macabre is loopy, dark and strange. There were monsters. Sometimes aliens. Maybe a pirate.

He also talked about his contributions to the National Lampoon.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
