The People of Penn State · Apr 10, 2025 · 49m

Ever think it’s too late to start something new? Think again!

This week on The People of Penn State, we’re joined by Dave Blazek ('79), an award-winning cartoonist behind the syndicated comic "Loose Parts." Dave has drawn a cartoon a day for more than 25 years — but here’s the twist: he didn’t even learn to draw until he was 42!

"Loose Parts" is syndicated everywhere and appears daily in nearly 200 newspapers and websites in the United States and Canada. Dave also has produced nine books and his greeting cards appear in the USA, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
