I had the incredible good fortune of spending two hours on the roof of a Habitat House side-by-side with him, then four solid hours the next day as I interviewed Mike (and he me) in a New Orleans hotel lobby. Those were six of the most joyful hours of my life, followed by his hilarious performance as emcee at the Reubens that year. Surely Mike Peters has cheered the spirits of every person who’s spent time in his company or heard him speak. I cannot think of any cartoonist I’ve met in the last five years who represents cartooning in a better light. And I have yet to hear an ill word spoken of him. His wife, Marion, is a great human being to boot.

Cool to hear about your mother and the inspiration she provided…what a class act. Hanley’s got nothin’ on you, Mike!
