Browne also played guitar and sang in his band The Twinkies, a group that was formed in 1973. He attended both Park College in Missouri and the School of Visual Arts in New York City. While he made a living as a cartoonist, he had a true passion for painting, which he did in his spare time. Browne lived in Connecticut with his wife Debra, an editor for Hägar the Horrible. They had three daughters. Browne died at his home in Wilton, Connecticut on March 1, 2024, at the age of 75.
