The Great Gagman, Groucho Marx

"If you want to see a comic strip, you should see me in the shower."

"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it and then misapplying the wrong remedies."

"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing..if you can fake that, you've got it made."

"This man has the mind of a 4-year old boy..and I bet he was glad to get rid of it."

"You know I could rent you out as a decoy for duck hunters?"

All of these play on words, qwuips, puns, and loveavle insults were made my the world's most famous wiseguy, constant "pain in the neck" and my hero, The Great (or in other words, pretty good) Groucho Marx.

I drew this tribute to this great man just a few weeks ago when I was trying out my Sharpies for the New Year. I may draw tributes to his two insane brothers, Chico (Italian wiseguy, conman, and champ piano player. You mean chimp, good sir!) and Harpo (the screwball silent clown, who has a nack for playing the harp like an angel. Let's better not hope its the hell's angels *raises eyebrows and flicks cigar ashes on the floor*), and his one straight-laced and heart throb male sibling, Zeppo. Together, they make up, THE MARX BROTHERS!!!! Stay tuned for more artwork soon.

Drawing this made me think of you,
Just like old times...
