General Discussion

In 1964, I sold my first professional cartoon – I was a junior in high school – to the Saturday Evening Post. A startled father, with his back to the door, dropped his martini and said to his daughter, who had a Beatle by the arm, "A WHAT followed you home and can you keep him?" It appeared in the issue that preceded their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in February of that year. I got $75 for that 'toon, and bought a new pair of ski boots with it. They were leather.
I've got a few other near-miss Beatle stories, but my point is, my admiration for McCartney's skill and style is in the stratosphere, where it will forever remain. Ain't nobody perfect, and neither is Paul, but he's a damned sight closer to it that I will ever be and I'm pretty damned good at what I do, too.
