Reading Sam Henderson is like sitting on the toilet reading New Yorker cartoons while drunk and naked. Not to be missed. -- Al Goldstein, Publisher of Screw Sam Henderson's The Magic Whistle Blows is so stupid that it can only be a work of genius. If you can read this without laughing, you are not human. -- James Sturm, The Stranger Sam Henderson is the single greatest comedic force in America. Except for me. And guys who wipe their mouths on their sleeves. -- Mark Newgarden, Co-creator of Garbage Pail Kids

Author Information

One of the funniest people in comics is Sam Henderson. Henderson's drawings have the same sort of energy and feel as the classic gag cartoonists, but with a far more twisted take on comedy - extremely low-brow humor that almost parodies low-brow humor - it's enjoyable on many levels. Join his regular cast of characters: Dirty Danny, The Brube, He Aims To Please, Robot Duckling, Monroe Simmons, and hundreds of others, for a unique and very funny comic book experience. Over the years Sam has contributed to many dozens of anthologies and produced the comic book Magic Whistle for over 20 years. Magic Whistle was nominated four years in a row for a Harvey Award for Special Award for Humor. His Scene But Not Heard comic appeared in every issue of Nickelodeon Magazine from 1996 to 2010. Scene But Not Heard was collected in a full-color hardcover edition by Alternative Comics and Top Shelf Productions in 2013. Sam was also an Emmy-nominated writer of Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon shows and the Scooby Doo comic book. His gag cartoons appear regularly in the curiously pink newspaper The New York Observer.
