Since a young age, Mark Anderson was drawing and telling jokes, therefore, it was only a matter of time before he became an acknowledged cartoonist.

Mark's one-panel comics range from Cupid jokes to business gags to music ones that fit perfectly, as he graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a music degree. What started as a personal passion has now blossomed into his full-fledged career. Additionally, the artist is a member of the National Cartoonists Society and has been a featured speaker at their annual Reuben Awards.

So, without further ado, we invite you to explore his witty humor, and for more information, read the interview with Mark below.

    LOL!! Why, yes, I can call myself one, in fact. Oh, I see you've unfortunately acquired a feral - not wild - Green Bellied Orinoco Giant Cayman- you do realize this is a juvenile, right? I'm afraid too many pet shops are unaware that members of the Caimaninae sub family just do not have the same docility we associate with alligators- so people tend to dump them in the parks once they eat a dog or two...

    Old old joke (I love it) "Doctor- will I be able to play the violin- after my surgery?" "There's every reason to expect, after therapy, you'll play violin just fine." "That's great! I never have been able to !" Countless doctors have now experienced this joke. I always tease my surgeons- of course! - this doctor - is a lert. We need more lerts.
