What's Jack Vaughan Up To?

Long-time readers of The Mother Earth News magazine will remember Jack Vaughan's comic "The Weird Humor of Jack Vaughan" starting as a single page in the 70s and then his cartoons spreading to many sections of the magazine during the 80s. He was a contributor to the magazine from its Nov/Dec 1977 issue through the Jul/Aug 1986 issue.







Anecdotally:

Jack Vaughan continued to draw his cartoon page for BackHome Magazine and only stopped a few years ago. He still illustrates Geoff Taylor articles for GreenPrints (a gardening magazine based in Fairview, N.C.). John Shuttleworth is the one that came up with the name "The Weird Humor of Jack Vaughan" and it drove Jack crazy. His cartoons in BackHome all had different names. He does not remember how many he drew for either magazine.

It appears that his most recent contribution to Back Home Magazine was its Jul/Aug 2006 issue.

 Here's an undated example of his work in GreenPrints:

I used to flip through my youth's ever-present boxes of The Mother Earth News Magazine looking for Jack Vaughan (and L. Bruce Holman's Down on the Farm).
