Rick Altergott is a professional illustrator and cartoonist, residing in Pawtucket, Rhode Island,〔(Altergott page on Fantagraphics website. ) Accessed Nov. 26, 2008.〕 with his wife, fellow cartoonist Ariel Bordeaux. Their collaborative comic book ''Raisin Pie'' is published by Fantagraphics. Altergott is best known for ''Doofus'', a long-running series published by Fantagraphics, notorious for its low-brow, scatological humor. Doofus chronicles the misadventures of two small-town weirdos, Doofus and Henry Hotchkiss. == Life and Career == Altergott's first published work was in the early 1980s, but he didn't really settle into the comics world until late in the decade, when he contributed regularly to the humor magazine ''Cracked''. Throughout the 1990s Altergott published the small-press comic ''Douche Bag Dougan'' (the titular hero of which later made an appearance in Fantagraphics' ''Zero Zero'' anthology.)〔(Who's Who of American Comic Books, 1928-99. ) Accessed Nov. 26, 2008.〕 Altergott's work has also appeared in ''Duplex Planet Illustrated'' and ''Hate'' (both published by Fantagraphics), where he was repeatedly promoted by Peter Bagge. In September 2006, Altergott released a serious biblical mini-comic based on the life of Saint Matthias. In 2008, Altergott and Bordeaux contributed to the anthology ''Kramers Ergot'' 7. In April 2014, Altergott began work on a weekly comic for Vice named Flowertown USA.〔(Flowertown, USA (episode 1). ) Accessed May 20, 2014.〕 Altergott is good friends with cartoonist Daniel Clowes, and lived in Chicago for a period when Clowes also lived there.〔("Hail Doofus: Two-Handed Man interviews Rick Altergott" (Feb. 2002). ) Accessed Nov. 26, 2008.〕 Due to the similarities in their drawing styles, some observers have suggested that Altergott is a pseudonym for Clowes, allowing Clowes to draw in a different, Wally Wood-inspired style. This is untrue. Altergott is also friends with Jaime Hernandez.〔("Sex Advice From Cartoonists" ) Accessed Dec. 24, 2011 .〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rick Altergott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
