July 5, 2008 1:45 PM

J.R. Williams is a prolific comics artist with a distinctive visual style 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. He is fond of fanciful takes on pop culture icons like Quisp and Yogi Bear, as well as more ribald characterizations like Polly Purebred and Jane Jetson (NSFW) More recently he has branched out into abstraction, which might be characterized as psychedelic pictographs.

This is a different J.R. Williams that the one who was behind the Bull of the Woods and Out Our Way cartoons, right?

Indeed, I couldn't find a Wikipedia page for this JR Williams...

J.R.'s stuff is great--such clean lines, that somehow give the impression of being drool-flecked!

Not to be confused with J.H. Williams III, also a fine comic artist and great-nephew of Hank Williams.
