I’m tickled to post an illustration that I made for @fairsharepublishing. All 5 Dad jokes can be viewed via the QR code in their new book “The Fight to be Funny: A Dad Joke Battle” My Dad joke was: “What kind of fish goes best with peanut butter? Jellyfish.” #dadjoke #JoeRocco #childrenspublishing

The Neapolitan cuisine that I grew up with. It would have been perfect if I added some Stella Doro cookies because that completes the Long Island experience. Mangia y’all!

Each term is paired with one of Rocco’s bold and colorful illustrations, which truly carry the book by demonstrating their meanings clearly...
An entertaining introduction to bigger words. #Lawleypublishing #childrensbooks #RavenHowell #JoeRocco #Illistration

A sneak peek at one of 2 new comics that I’m completing and publishing through Blurb. Both stories are based on real celebrity pets, one of whom is still alive and will probably sue me. Bring it on, I say! I could use the publicity. #blurb #choupette #karllagerfeld #paris #comic #joerocco
