Thanks, Mike . . coming from a real pro I appreciate that . . This cartoon, kind of reminds you of something that might've been done by the great George Price, only he would,ve executed it 100 times better . . but I was thinking of George Price when I did it. This gag, if it was drawn today by a Danny Shanahan or Matt Diffee or any number of the regulars at the NYer would've been gone into the YES basket. YOU know it, I know it and anyone who knows anything about NEW YORKER CARTOONS KNOWS IT. NUF SED, period.
After graduating from Tucson High School in 1953 I attended the Billy Hon School of Cartooning in Los Angeles.
I then joined the U.S. Marines for four years, and ended up in Washington, D.C..
After getting honourably discharged, I enrolled at the Corcoran School of Art where I studied figure drawing.
In 1976 I founded and was CEO of a 34 man sign company specializing in Trade Show Decorations, Exhibits and Signage for the largest 100 Associations in the U.S. We later expanded and added an electrical sign division where we designed and manufactured electrical signs for many Fortune 500 companies.
The company was sold in 2oo2. I now draw cartoons passionately full-time from my mountain-top home and studio in wild & wonderful West Virginia.
My cartoons have appeared regularly in the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Harvard Business Review, Reader's Digest, etc. and recently Playboy magazine where Mr. Hefner just purchased 15 colour cartoons in May and June of 2007.

A really nice gag. One of those ones with a touch of extra irony for those who like that sort of thing (and I do).
