Portland-based illustrator and animator, Bill Plympton, creates the enigma of comedy in his drawings.

Since then, he has carried on his personality through his artwork through animating the curiosity of life and comedy.

Rizzoli is releasing Independently Animated: Bill Plympton, The Life and Art of the King of Indie Animation, an animator hailed simply as "God" by Simpsons creator Matt Groening. That should be enough to get you in the door. More after the jump . . .
