A rare sighting of an old cartoon drawing I did for my dear friend’s restaurant (Le Gorille in Shihola, PA) back in May of 1993. They’ve somehow kept it for the last 32 years and just shared it with me. I have no recollection of doing it, but I’ll never forget why I would have.

I’ve known or should I say more accurately, he’s known me, since before I was born. This in graphite is in recognition and honor of his 80th birthday (yesterday).
