Personal Life
His son Matt was born to his third wife, Scottie Perry in 1986. In 1989, MacNelly met his last wife, Susie MacNelly. They married in Washington D.C. in 1990 and soon thereafter moved to Flint Hill, Rappahannock County, Virginia. They got a herd of horses, a garage filled with jalopies (including "Shoe's" Cosmo Fishhawk's 1959 DeSoto), room enough for the multitude of stray dogs and cats they adopted, and a couple of studios where MacNelly could work. They also bought a bungalow in Key West, Florida where they could avoid Virginia winters.
MacNelly's son Jake was killed in a freak climbing accident in Colorado in 1996. Jake MacNelly was an aspiring editorial cartoonist and journalist for the Aspen News. The day he died, he had a cartoon published in The New York Times.
