Puzzle 'Toons is a weekly comic strip devoted to puzzles, mind benders and brain teasers. The puzzles range from subjects such as mechanical devices and geometry to astrodynamics, chess and billiards, or whatever interests the creator of the cartoon, Brian Mansfield. Regular readers of the comic strip will recognize the actual answer is less important than the method of solving the problem. To that end, the answer is usually given as much space and explanation as the puzzle itself.

Brian Mansfield is a mechanical engineer by education and license, a software engineer by profession, and an illustrator and cartoonist at heart. Brian's work has not only graced the pages of the SAS E-Bulletin but has also appeared in numerous books by Cliff Pickover including Calculus and Pizza, The Wonders of Numbers, and Surfing Through Hyperspace, as well as the Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts. Brian currently resides near Cincinnati, Ohio.

Brian recently wrote a series of articles on mechanical drawing "the old fashioned way", that is, using traditional drafting tools.
