Know this first: I am not the guy who says "Y'ello" when he answers the phone.
I enjoy coffee, bus rides and not going to the beach, and I share with the Russian composer Anatoly Yankovsky a deep and abiding love of "The Munsters".
I dislike cars, cilantro and the state of Florida. It's also worth mentioning that I despise magicians, sports heroes and whistling.
I seldom carry an umbrella, and I haven't worn short pants in public since 1989.
Currently, I live.
The who, what & where:
I'm a cartoonist, most notably for The New Yorker.
As you can see, their name is spelled perfectly. It's one of the many impressive things about The New Yorker magazine. To see more of my published work look here .
I run a website, JoeDator.com , which is named after me, and vice versa. Curious onlookers can see a gallery of my many rejected New Yorker submissions, along with what critics and audiences have called "a bunch of other stuff".
I also make films. My 2005 short "Citizen Candy Man: A Chocumentary" is considered the finest fake-documentary about the death of Willy Wonka produced in 2005, or at least among the top ten. Here's the one minute trailer:
The movie can be seen in its entirety at www.citizencandyman.com .
