These cartoons started from my trials and tribulations as a post-doctoral biomedical researcher at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland from 1992-1997. Most of these cartoons were published in the NIH Catalyst newsletter. In 1998 I joined the faculty at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis and I continued to produce cartoons sporadically for the Catalyst until about 2002. I have not done any cartooning since 2002.
Dear Alexander, I thoroughly enjoyed your cartoons. Most of them are now printed and hang on the wall of our lab in Athens, Greece. I was a post-doc at the NIH 1992-1995, based in Frederik and the situations you depict are very familiar to me. Thank you for wonderful contribution Regards Dionyssios sgouras@pasteur.gr
You need to get these published please! There is a whole world of unmotivated/frustrated scientists looking for a little laugh and a little insight...and these comics can get them through the day...I know they can, because they got me through the day :)
Dear Alexander, Thanks for sending high-res versions of two of these to me when I was in grad school (Stanford 97-03). They are really "iconic" in biomedical labs, and now that I am consulting I see them wherever I go. I finally tracked down the grad student one to here after seeing it at Dana Farber right outside the Wucherpfennig lab. Thanks for your humorous and very insightful contributions to the seedy underworld of science!
As far as I am concerned, these are in the public domain, and I am fine with any use of these for non-profit/non-commercial purposes. So feel free to translate.

What's the license of those images? I want to translate them in Korean.

Alexander,
Great job with the cartoons. I would like to use some of your cartoons to illustarte our post-doc newsletter. Would that be fine ?
Thank you for letting me know.
