Awhile back I was contacted by Field & Steam magazine to do an illustration for them. The art director was someone I liked, and had worked with at Entertainment Weekly, so I asked them to clarify what exactly Field & Stream magazine was... "A magazine about... Fields & Steams?". Of course I knew it was a magazine about hunting & fishing, so naturally, being a Jewish, anti-hunting, vegetarian, I welcomed the challenge. I wound up doing a few illustrations for F&S, until the editors finally caught on that I was drawing the animals heroically, and the hunters as stupid looking as possible. They finally stopped calling.
This illustration appears in my latest anthology "TOO SOON?" from Fantagraphics books.
Ha. Funny story.
