3. I sure do.
I've got a book of his, and a stack of old issues of The Fifth Estate that carried his work. Great stuff.

7. And there was one of the tired housewife in fuzzy slippers and curlers, opening up a "TV Dinner"
Edited on Fri Nov-09-07 10:45 PM by Idealist Hippie
while the TV stood on the floor on its little feet, looking up at her, wagging its antenna wildly.

He was great. I collected his work in the 'seventies.

Edit: Just found a website with more of his 'toons, and a road to his own website under construction. http://www.shimmerytimbers.com/starticles01.htm
