MERRY MARY'S CARTOON GALLERY

pod of baseballsFrom the outlandishly screwball to the politically incorrect, MaryJoy Martin—also known in the art world as MerryJoy—has concocted cartoons for more than thirty years with a twisted sense of irreverence and completely misguided loyalties to the bird and rodent communities. From the early days when she created cartoons in pen-and-ink for the likes of the Rocky Mountain News, The Canticle (Friar Fabiano cartoon series), and various sci-fi fanzines, to her present style of digitally warping warped political figures or giving penguins and poodles heads of state, Martin spares no one. Not even Santa Claus.

Many of her cartoons have been published as cover art for the gloriously notorious San Juan Horseshoe since 1986. Others have been published as part of news or feature stories in the 'Shoe, and as aids to the unwashed in the online version of the 'Shoe, such as the recent “Cookie Tree Map,” with its snakes and lizards, outhouses, and treasure being eaten by caterpillars. Martin is also founder of LocoFotives, a bevy of zany Pixelators who cobble together poltical cartoons from stray pixels.
Punch - Stonehenge
Reminiscent of the covers and cartoons of Punch (the British magazine of satire published from 1841-2002), Martin's work delights in weird details and extravagant exaggerations.

A few samples are shown below from the pen-and-ink variety to the digitally re-masticated. For more examples, visit the San Juan HorseshoeCovers” page.
