Contributor to Funny Times, Rosebud magazine, etc. Edited the journal Vision? Nary!, of which MAXIMUMROCK'N'ROLL said: "A sarcastic, funny magazine that takes it to you with humor about the general fucked-up-ness of America- down home heartland America" These people said the following about David Raffin: "A cross between Garrison Keillor and Salvador Dali." – The Northwest Examiner "Intelligent, humorous, and highly imaginative– always a pleasure to read." – Peter Bacho, Author "Cebu" "Dark Blue Suit" "His perversions are oddly analytical." - Jodi Lamm, Author "Titan Magic" "David's style is absurdist bordering on the surreal. [...] Certainly, David is a virtuoso at not delivering what an audience might expect. As such, he shows his remarkable skills as a satirist." – Evergreen State College "He's not your average comedian." - The Daily Olympian
