Back in 1959 I had the idea of becoming a freelance cartoonist and
earning a living by staying home at my drawing board. (After all, it worked
for Charles Schulz.) Furthermore, I'd read that one could live in Mexico
for less than half what it cost in the states.
So I quit my signpainting job
and went to Mexico City.
Well, to make a long story short, I ran out of money before I'd sold enough cartoons to pay the rent - so I had to come back and
look for a new job.
Anyway, here are some of the drawings I did back then...
