Under normal circumstances, when you receive a letter, you usually glance where it came from, glance at the time/date it was mailed, then most of us tear open the envelope rather quickly ( I can NEVER find the letter opener ! ). If it's Kosher at this point you throw away the envelope in the trash . . . HOWEVER, there are some envelopes you save and file for future enjoyment, like this one . . an original cartoon, or a piece of art ( which it is ), I CAN NOT THROW IT AWAY ! It's worth framing under glass, which, come to think of it, I WILL ! Here is one of those masterpieces. ENJOY ! Orlando has been one of guys who influenced my work and his talent and hard work has earned him the prestigious National Cartoonists Society Award " Best Gag Cartoonist of the Year " for multiple years. On top of this he is one of the nicest guys I've ever met.
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.
