As an editorial and comic cartoonist, Les Golden has been widely published.  His subjects are taken from his interest in politics and other careers as a stand-up comedian, actor, writer, musician, environmentalist, animal welfare advocate, astronomer, and professor.  He may be best known for his strip "Captain Industry" from the 1980's.  His content ranges from politically controversial to school-boy silliness, with a clean line-art artistic style.  His textbook, <i>Laboratory Exercises in Physics for Modern Astronomy</i> (Springer-Verlag, 2012), includes numerous of his comic illustrations, including those of possible extraterrestrials.  He credits Betty Edwards, author of <i>Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain</i>, as his major artistic influence.
