McNaught Syndicate, 1978

 

This is a cartoon that McNaught Syndicate bought from me sometime in 1978. McNaught editor Anne Rickey, writing directly on the drawing, instructed me to do a square finished drawing and to add a square box line all around it. McNaught would paste in my type-set caption below the box, and also add anything else that was required, such as the date of publication and copyright info.

I don’t have a copy of my finished drawing, nor a tearsheet of the printed cartoon, but I kept a copy of this.

Datamation, 1983

 

Explanation: Universal Product Codes (UPC’s) were slowly introduced into stores beginning in 1974, thoroughly confusing most ordinary shoppers. So this cartoon, which was purchased and printed by Datamation magazine in 1983, was still very appropriate.
