Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Interview Cartoonist Randy Glasbergen Creator of The Better Half and Thin Lines
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008
On tonight’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about Cartoonist Randy Glasbergen. He created the comic strips Thin Lines and The Better Half. He was pretty funny. He told some behind the scenes stories from his days writing Hallmark Cards and how he gets his inspiration for his comics.
His doctor is a thorn in his side so he got his revenge by creating this doctor character that is always nagging him to lose weight and eat less. My favorite caption is the one with the doctor telling the patient “What fits your busy schedule better, exercising one hour a day or being dead 24 hours a day?”
There are literally hundreds more on his website. For more information about Randy and all his work please go to his website www.glasbergen.com. And if Thin Lines or The Better Half isn’t in your newspaper, be sure to send an email to the editor and ask for it. You can even Google Diet Cartoons and his stuff will come up.
