Your drawing of yourself reminds me of...
Submitted by The Original Yoda on Thu, 02/21/2008 - 4:29pm....Richard Brautigan.
Brautigan, along with Kesey
Submitted by stevenl on Thu, 02/21/2008 - 9:47pm.Brautigan, along with Kesey and Vonnegut, was a big influence on my comic art. He was a Washington State native by the way, born in Tacoma in 1935. An unhappy man who was a great writer. My self-port above was made in the mid 1980s.
Maybe it is time to draw a new comic about 1960s/2000s arrogant and unpopular Texans in the White House conducting foreign wars no one really understands.
I love Brautigan...
Submitted by The Original Yoda on Thu, 02/21/2008 - 10:44pm....I think I ended up getting one credit for researching Brautigan, at Evergreen.
My favorite of his is "In Watermelon Sugar".
"Troutfishing" gets a close second for me. I love the part at the end where he goes to buy a
used trout stream and it's stacked in six foot lengths against the wall in the back. Ha!
I enjoy your comix and I think some more of your unique perspective is overdue.
Another Brautigan fan

Submitted by stevenl on Fri, 02/22/2008 - 5:38am.for the kind words. Maybe I'll contribute more old comix when I get a chance.
Been awhile since I have read any of his work. I enjoyed The Abortion and his short story, Revenge of the Lawn.
Another Northwest author who deserves more attention is Angelo Pellegrini. He was the 1979 speaker at Evergroove's graduation ceremonies.
