Frederick cartoonist Mark Burrier's websites

Mark Burrier wrote a nice note to me today, so I clicked through his links and discovered he's in Frederick, MD and has been nominated for an Ignatz at SPX. I've sent him my City Paper interview questions - in the meantime you can start checking out his work at these sites.
