Asher Perlman has spent his entire professional life in comedy - from the famed Second City in Chicago to writing for the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, but his foundation came from cartoons.

His dad taught him the basics from a young age growing up in Madison, Wisconsin and he's carried on that legacy as one of the few cartoonists to publish in The New Yorker regularly. That's no surprise - Asher's work is pithy, his observations are spot-on and his jokes are universal.

His debut cartoon collection "Well, This Is Me" comes out on June 18th and is already an Amazon Best Seller. 

Learn where Asher's ideas come from, how he converts them to paper and what drives his creativity in this in-depth conversation.
