They had two children, Andrea, born in 1977 and George III, born in 1989.

comic strip which ran continuously in "CARtoons" from 1975 until that magazine's last issue in August 1991. Since May 2005, new episodes of Krass & Bernie have been printed in "Car Craft". Some issues of "CARtoons" contained two or three separate Krass & Bernie stories. Trosley also produced many other features for "CARtoons", including a regular "How To Draw Cars" instructional series. A book was published containing many of these "How To Draw Cars" articles, titled "Trosley's How To Draw Cartoon Cars".For over twenty years, Trosley has produced adult-themed, satirical comic strips for Hustler magazine, appearing each month.
