Zizmor, a dermatologist, is as ubiquitous on a subway as a frat boy two years removed sweating out last night's alcohol through his suit. His tacky billboard ads have blanketed New York's subway cars for years, but I didn't realize his cult following until I heard a KISS tribute band introduce one of its most popular songs by saying, "It's time to call out the doctor! Not Zizmor! We're talking about Doctor Love!" (Crowd goes wild.)

Word has it Zizmor designs his own ads, and the best thing you can say about him as an art director is that he's a great dermatologist.

Let's catch up with Dr. Zizmor on this great porno arcade we call the World Wide Web...
