Suddenly Southern illustrations are by Gary Hallgren.
One of the original illustrators for National Lampoon, Gary recently collaborated with Lampoon founder Henry Beard on the hilarious "Where's Saddam?"(Saddam was captured shortly after the release of their book. Modestly, Gary and Henry did not try to steal the thunder from Dubya.) Gary's work has also appeared in Rolling Stone,Time, The New York Times, Howard the Duck, Crazy and Provincetown.
In the 1970s, Gary was a player in the underground comics scene, teaming up with Dan O' Neill, Bobby London, Ted Richards and Shary Flenniken to start Air Pirates Funnies, a comics series that parodied Disney characters. Not that there's anything wrong with that:-)
