Artist

The Resume

    (1958- )
    Born in Louisville, Kentucky
    Birth name was Edward Bruce Tinsley
    Creator of the comic strip 'Mallard Filmore'

Why he might be annoying:

    He said the gay agenda 'is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today.'
    He complained that a parody in Jon Stewart's 'America (The Book)' tried to 'deceive people into thinking it was a real' Mallard Filmore strip.
    His caricature of Stewart with a long, hook nose was described by Stephen Colbert as 'clip art from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.'
    He was arrested for DUI with a blood alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit (December 4, 2006).
    Four months prior, he had been arrested for public intoxication.
    He earlier ran a strip in which a drunk driver attempted to avoid arrest by claiming to be related to the Kennedys.
    His strip ain't funny.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was fired from his first job at the 'Daily Progress' for injecting political commentary into 'Mallard Filmore.'
    'Mallard Filmore' has been syndicated to over 400 newspapers.
    He admitted about Iraq, 'I'm disappointed that the administration hasn't been more forthcoming on the reasons for the war.'
    As the Democratic Underground noted, 'Mallard Filmore is pretty funny if you append Tinsley's mugshot after the strip.'
