Welcome to Dixie Drive, the main drag through that little town up the road. Make a right or left onto any side street and who knows what or who you might come across. These folks are as unpredictable as a squirrel in the street on a hot summer's day and they don't care what you think about it. They're not hurting anybody, (except maybe themselves). they're just playing their cards with the hand they were dealt, so stand back and we'll see what they come up with next. The folks near Dixie Drive might reside in some backwater southern town and some of their weirdness may be particularly "Southern" but don't kid yourself, this is Small Town America: the same animal from Portland East to Portland West. Woof!

There was a woman who grew up in the South, whose mother was Thai. The little girl was asked the same question as in the cartoon quite frequently.

A local woman won an auction to be in Dixie Drive. As soon as I heard who it was, this idea popped right into my head!

Agreed! He brings new meaning to the phrase “South Korean”. (Let the groaning begin!)

Nice artwork Rich. I think half of the enjoyment is seeing the different styles of artwork in these cartoons.

Thanks. I’m always working on so many different projects that I just “wing it” and have fun when doing the panel. I’m glad the variety is a plus and not a minus!

That’s the nicest thing I’ve heard all week. I was a big fan of Don’s growing up. Unfortunately, he’d already passed away by the time I started working with MAD. I wish I could have met him.
