AKA - Pro's and Feature Writers Friday Fun(?) Artist and Car (puzzle)

This artist is relatively obscure, but his work has been mentioned in another puzzle solved in the last 1/2 dozen months. He was ultimately not associated with that puzzle, but could have been inspired by it.

So, who is he, and what's the connection?

One of the various wrong guessed illustrators?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #2 on:** August 13, 2010, 04:50:32 AM »

No sir. He was not guessed as a possible puzzle solution, but one of his works was mentioned in a non-guess reply to puzzle that was not of the Art & Cars variety.

Open to all

Yet another recently-solved puzzle could make this connection easy.

Dear friends, would those of you who know what this is all about please raise your hands?

Another puzzle - and another clue - have appeared here within the last week.

Instead of searching clues and mentions in other puzzles, maybe I'd better keep asking for his trade.
Musician?

Relief! I felt tempted to analyze the pile of clues posted above, but I fortunately renounced before they lock me up with a straightjacket.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #10 on:** November 28, 2010, 04:09:45 AM »

More's the pity. His work was again indirectly mentioned in a puzzle elsewhere at AutoPuzzles, within the last handful of days.

Related to "daddy sang bass"

?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #12 on:** November 28, 2010, 04:34:18 AM »

Indeed!

Related to the Statler Brothers?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #14 on:** November 28, 2010, 05:41:13 AM »

Other than that three-word phrase? No.

Is he a country singer?

Is the fact that this picture seems to show a restaurant of any relevance?

Beyond three words? Not that I'm aware of

Any connection to JD Sumner?

Ray B. · « **Reply #24 on:** November 28, 2010, 02:31:01 PM »

The man is John Flansburgh of They Might be Giants.

So would the car be "Electric car"?
