About Me
- Scott Nickel
- By day, I work as a writer/editor at Paws, Inc., Jim Davis' creative studio in Indiana. By night, I write and draw. Burning the midnight oil, I've created the comic strip EEK! (syndicated online by Uclick), hundreds of humorous greeting cards for companies like American Greetings, fiction and non-fiction for BOYS' LIFE, several award-winning children's books, and cartoons for MAD, MAD Australia, MAD Germany, WALL STREET JOURNAL, BOYS' LIFE, MEDICAL ECONOMICS, PHYSICIAN'S WEEKLY, THE SUN, WOMAN'S WORLD, NICKELODEON, READER'S DIGEST and PLAYBOY. I think I need a nap.

Scott, you're definitely getting to the point where there are multiple examples of the "EEK! of the Week." As you know, I really like your work, but starting a couple of weeks I felt that "EEK!" was starting to be consistently funny every single day, with fewer duds and more big hits. I think that opening up the strip to a little more offbeat humor and not restricting yourself quite as much to vampires and werewolves and such has benefitted "EEK!" tremendously. Which isn't to say that you should abandon your roots, of course...keep doing the vampires and werewolves and such!
Anyway, this "EEK!" was a bit of an eyebrow-raiser, wasn't it? I imagine that for a newspaper editor the topic of Viagra is already a bit nerve-wracking, but with that "stiff" gag...they've got some little old ladies threatening to cancel their subscriptions. Which isn't to say it isn't funny -- it's really hilarious. But maybe this one would be better off in Playboy or Mad or something?
