Like most fans who buy personalized copies of Unpublished Sneyd at conventions, Elizabeth (from Toronto) had Doug add "bunny ears" to her sketch.
While Doug was sketching Tracy, he found out she was born in Newfoundland but now lives in Toronto.
Besides having Doug do a sketch in his sketchbook, Dave bought a copy of Preliminaries, which features preliminary development materials, like pencil and color roughs, for several Playboy cartoon finishes.
Tracy here... I just had a flashback to Fan Expo '09 and remembered you saying something about posting pictures so I thought I'd check and there I was!
It was so nice to meet you both. You were both really sweet and I just wanted to say thanks to Doug for the drawing- I was on cloud 9 for days. I cherish it.
Doug has been a cartoonist for Playboy magazine since 1964.
For nearly 20 years, starting in the mid-60's, his "Doug Sneyd" and "Scoops" news cartoons appeared daily in newspapers across North America. Sneyd's talent has also led him into cinema: in 1993, he wrote, produced and directed "Black-eyed Susan," an educational movie-drama about spousal abuse, for the Ontario government. He was a founding member of the Canadian Society of Book Illustrators and has been a member of the National Cartoonists' Society and the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. Thirty of his full-page color Playboy cartoons are among the 235 Sneyd works included in the National Archives of Canada in Ottawa.
Sneyd was born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, but spent much of his professional career in Toronto. In 1969 he moved his family north to Orillia made famous as the mythical "Mariposa" by humorist Stephen Leacock. He works on the third floor of his home-studio overlooking beautiful Lake Couchiching and spends his winters on the Gulf Coast in Orange Beach, Alabama.
