Holy cow! I just sold my 200th calendar (and my 50th Joan paper doll set, mostly to Jezebel readers).
In thanks, here’s the cover of the calendar to download as a desktop wallpaper without all the irritating text
Twelve crazy months of Mad Men shenanigans illustrated by me, featuring scenes from both seasons.

So, a lot of people who read this but don’t know me in real life won’t know this, so a bit of background: New SNL featured player Bobby Moynihan is a UCB guy originally, as am I and as is Rich Sommer (in so much as we studied comedy there, performed there and know each other from there).
Bobby was in a duo (and later trio) called Buffoons which had a long running show which Rich Sommer would admit himself was a major fan of. Kind of obsessed with it, even. He was at every show, according to Bobby (who is a notorious exaggerator). It was a fucking hilarious show, but it was scripted—it was pretty much the same every week.
When the word came down that Jon Hamm was hosting SNL a couple months ago, before sketch one was on paper, and I was talking to Bobby about that he immediately said “I want to play Rich.”
He said after the show that he had a minor panic a minute before the sketch went up—“I need a wedding ring!”—and he ran around backstage trying to borrow one. He got one in time and ultimately, he admitted, it’s probably not even going to be visible on screen.
It could have been even more meta meta meta if very pregnant Amy Poehler (UCB founder) had played pregnant-but-denying-it Peggy Olson, but she went and had the baby right before the show. Nice job ruining everyone’s fun, Amy Poehler and Baby Archibald.
