Dan Reynolds
Dan Reynolds began drawing cartoons in December of 1989 [1], and not to give away his current age, but he was thirty when he began plying this trade. Reynolds states he draws and eats left-handed, plays ping pong and pool left-handed. However, he throws, kicks and bats right-handed. He cuts and runs with scissors right-handed. Dan is what handedness experts call ambi-lateral.
Reynolds spent 4 years in the Navy on the USS Nimitz [2], has a degree in Psychology and currently lives in central New York, with his wife and sons.
Reynolds Unwrapped
Reynolds Unwrapped will not help to preserve and protect leftover food as it is a single-panel cartoon with colorful pictures and quirky humor. Millions of people across the country read the Reynolds Unwrapped series in its regular appearances in Reader's Digest and Esquire magazine - and on greeting cards and in nationally published books.
Reynolds' cartoons don't rely on central characters - they feature a wide variety of talking animals and humans. The amusement and laughter come from his use of the element of surprise, plays on words, visual gags and the juxtaposition of conflicting ideas.
Cartoons
Reynolds is perhaps best known for a cartoon series whose byline is Reynolds Unwrapped. In this popular collection, the spotlight is on the many absurdities of life.
His work appears in almost every issue of Reader's Digest [3] (where he is known for his cow, pig and chicken cartoons) and in stores featuring major greeting cards from companies such as Recycled Paper Greetings, Papyrus, and Nobleworks.
Reynolds' work also appeared in the opening episode of the 2002 episode of HBO's The Sopranos, the cover of a National Lampoon cartoon book collection and a number of his baseball cartoons are also part of the Cooperstown National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Books
Many of the Unwrapped cartoons have been compiled into collections. Viagra, botox injections, antiwrinkle cream: everyone is trying to fight the effects of aging, but Dan Reynolds wants his readers to understand it is laughter which is the real fountain of youth. Thus How Aging Affects Belt Height [4] is meant to be the best medicine for vitality. It has a foreword from the then oldest man in the world.
In Birthday Bash! [5] nerds play birthday party games like "Pin The Tail On The Jackass" and women at the Maximum Insecurity Prison wonder if uniform stripes make them look fat. Now They All have Window Seats [6] is a celebration of fatherhood, while Christmas Meltdown [7] is a cartoonist's look at the Yuletide holiday.
