Paul Szep
Paul Michael Szep (born July 29, 1941 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) is a political cartoonist. He was the chief editorial cartoonist at the Boston Globe from 1967–2001 and has been syndicated to hundreds of newspapers worldwide. He won the Pulitzer Prize twice for Editorial Cartooning in 1974 and 1977. Szep also won the prestigious international Thomas Nast Prize (1983). The Society of Professional Journalists/Sigma Delta Chi (SDX) honored him twice with its Distinguished Service Award for Editorial Cartooning (1973 and 1976). He won the National Headliner Award in 1977 and the National Cartoonists Society's Editorial Cartoonist of the year (1978). He has written more than a dozen books.
Szep is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art. He first started cartooning at the Financial Post newspaper in Canada. Although born in Canada, he is a naturalized U.S. citizen.
Szep was a strong opponent of the Vietnam War and his cartoons on Edward King, the governor of Massachusetts, resulted in his being sued for libel. In 1987, a court dismissed King's suit. His work is currently syndicated by Creators Syndicate. He has a daughter Amy (artist, born 1967). His son, Jason Szep (born 1969), a Reuters journalist, also won a Sigma Delta Chi Award (2007) and a Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting (2014).

Yes Yes Yes
by: Bill CosbyRight on, baby
Let me ask you a question, darling
Last night, I had thirty-five
Dollars in my pocket
Did you go through my pockets
(Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...)
Right on, right on
That's what I thought happened
(Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...)
I'm gonna ask you another question, baby
My car, you borrowed my car, didn't you
Did you bash the side in, baby
With the light hanging out
And the wheel falling off
(Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...)
Right on, right on, right on
(Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...)
You didn't tell me about it
Did you, baby
(Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...)
Just left it in the garage
With trash piled up
All over the top of it
Right on, right on, baby
It's wonderful being
Married to you, darling
Thirty-five dollars
Missing out of my pocket
Car hanging all on the side
But I love you
One other question, baby
Your checking account
Is it overdrawn, baby (yes)
Is it overdrawn, baby (yes)
Right on, right on
Is it overdrawn
There's no money left
To do anything with except
Just keep writing, writing checks
Right on
(Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...)
It's overdrawn, ain't it, baby
Right on, right on for overdrawn
(Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...)
But I still love you
One other question, baby
(Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...)
This man who's standing
In the closet here
With my pajamas on
(Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes...)
Don't say that, baby
Don't say that, darling
Cause if it is, darling
I got to leave
Baby, I got to leave
Right on, right on for leaving
But I still love you, darling
And if you ever make your mind
That you wanna get the
People out the closet and
Put the money back in the account
