MAKE Volume 27 Roy Doty Illustration

Everybody makes mistakes, and we’re no exception. After each issue has gone to print, we usually find out we’ve made a mistake or two and post our errata on the magazine volume page and in the Letters section of the subsequent issue as “MAKE: Amends.” For our current volume, we just got perhaps the best errata in 27 volumes:

We incorrectly labeled Roy Doty’s Eureka comic strip “Phffft!” The correct title is “Zippp!” We apologize to Roy, and to fans of onomatopoeia everywhere.

Roy Doty‘s Eureka comic frames have appeared sprinkled throughout the Toolbox section of each issue since Volume 25. Before then, Roy had illustrated the Aha! Puzzle This column for 19 volumes of MAKE (05 thru 23). We absolutely love Roy’s illustrations, and hope to see many more of his works. He has been an illustrator since 1946. No newcomer to the DIY scene, his “Wordless Workshop” ran as a syndicated series for 50 years.

    I *loved* Wordless Workshop!  I’m happy to see Doty is still drawing. I always admired his ability to reduce a clever idea to a series of cartoon panels.  I recognized the style in the above drawing before I saw his signature.  Thanks for starting my day off right!

  4. I loved his recent cookie jar alarm using a singing birthday card.  Brilliant!

    How’d she clip it on the zipper when she can’t even reach it?

  6. I loved Wordless Workshop and I’m surprised and saddened that you can’t buy a collection of them.
