Inducted into the National Cartoonist Society in 1991, his first comic strip series, ANOMALIES was published in 1985 by The Easy Reader, winning their annual contest. Pen and ego spurred on, Joe followed up with a string of other comics in various formats. The romantic saga BACK ROADS, the proud parental sentiment of IF YOUR PARENTS REALLY LOVED YOU…, a full-page Sunday feature on car culture; ROUTE 66, and several more devoted to charitable pursuits. POOR JUDGEMENT and ST. NICK were created as a gift to the children at St. Jude’s Ranch, while AQUAMARINES was penned on behalf of the anti-whaling efforts of Sea Shepherds. His graphic novel, MEN FROM EARTH earned worldwide distribution on its first day of publication July 4, 1991 at the San Diego ComiCon and eventually went into pre-production at Paramount Pictures as a live-action feature in the fall of 1996. RUST & WRINKLES ran internationally before being collected & published as his first anthology in 1992. The launch of this online gallery was christened with a daily political cartoon in 1996. The Easy Reader again played host to Joe’s next daily feature, WEBSTER, running from 1997-1998. Joe signed his first literary agent on Thanksgiving, 1998 for 101 USES FOR A DEAD LAWYER. During 1998-1999 the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce published HERE & THERE. That April saw his first Limited Edition Fine Art Print released at the 12th Annual Charity Car Show in Seal Beach! Joe King’s newest parody, I’M JUST LIKE CAPTAIN KIRK BECAUSE… was recently syndicated by Comic Echange and the 10th ANNIVERSARY-RUST & WRINKLES is currently appearing in Sweden, South Africa and Australia.

HOW ABOUT THESE APPLES?

The Nation:
“Joe has more truth in his pen, than Bill O’Reilly could muster with a thousand “falaffels”, and more integrity than Limbaugh could ever envision, in the most intense of oxycontin orgies.”
– Eric Blumrich/BUSHFLASH.COM

The Neighborhood:
“The cartoons reveal the ambiance of the area, adding credibility to his other local cartoons. They prove he is an insider… having street cred adds import addressing local concerns… and quality of life.”
– Stuart Rapeport/AAEC

The Nannygoats:
“Future generations will finally recognize his moustachioed genius…”
– JP Trostle/AAEC
