Dot & Smudge is the design director for Whim Quarterly, a new humor magazine. Whim was founded in late 2009 by Brock Mahan (of TruTV), Paul Underwood (of urbandaddy.com) and Rick Pecoraro. As they describe it:
Whim Quarterly is a magazine printed on actual, flammable paper. Its contributors are mainly underemployed writers, though some have chiseled their way into positions at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and other humor institutions. Taken as a single entity, Whim contributors would have 36 eyes, three Emmy Awards and a soul-crushing amount of personal debt.
