...first thing TIME.comix noticed: Some of these guys looked like their drawings. Burns sports a nearly bald pate and black-rimmed eyeglasses. Chris Ware, with a large Corrigan-esqe head, tries to bashfully shrink into his chair. Kidd, whose sweeping part of dark hair and wire-rim glasses give him the look of a teenage Devo fan, began by asking Art Spiegelman what it means to be a successful cartoonist. "It's a very mixed blessing," Spiegelman said. "I've felt this incredible weight ever since 'Maus' became a crossover hit because it puts all these eyeballs looking over...
Take Bob Orsillo’s haunting computer-generated portrayal of homelessness in his piece, “Lost Dreams.” This depicts the strong back of a naked man shrouded in fog, his bald head bent in despair, his bare foot poised to take a step into nowhere. He is surrounded by stone walls and contained in a jail-like space. One feels distinctly that he is trapped but the man is not quite aware of his state.

In her large charcoal and pastel drawing, Hauptman, nearly bald, with a blank and yet paradoxically penetrating stare, holds a cake out in front of her in her left hand. Above the cake an upside-down face (also ostensibly Hauptman’s) hangs in profile, creating a somewhat schizophrenic effect for the viewer, simultaneously startling and intriguing. The scalloped, fancy plate and the elaborately detailed icing on the cake, rimmed with pink and edged...
Among the early birds was Bill M. Martin of Taunton, Mass. He said he arrived at 8 a.m. with a Patriots helmet painted on his bald head. He’d had his cousin paint the helmet on Sunday afternoon before the big game and since then had showered with a bag over his head so he wouldn’t spoil the design...
