The photograph of Doyle Redland featured in The Onion publications is not of Mueller. [2]

Mueller was laid off from The Onion in 2010. [1] According to Mueller, while The Onion Radio News has remained popular, "The Onion, Inc. was unable to sell ads to maintain it through [spring 2009], and at the end of 2009, Mr. Redland was folded up and saved for later." [1]

In 2004, Mueller published a collection of his cartoons, Your Belief System Is Shot: Cartoons and Stuff ( ISBN   978-0-9721217-7-4). He lives in the Madison, Wisconsin area.
