Anthony Haden-Guest's cartoons embody the levity and the mundanity of everyday life in as little as a single stroke of the pen. In just a few lines, Haden-Guest is able to capture an attitude, expression, humor, and feeling about what it means to live in the contemporary world with complex feelings and relationships. A frequent contributor to major publications, Haden-Guest's drawings capture an irreverent honesty that taps into human foibles and desires.
