It's my weirdo magnet. I even had a photographer approach me at the Billy Goat and asked if he could take my picture while I was sitting at the bar.

You too? Everyone wants me to be a priest so they can confess to me. OMG, the stuff people do and then tell me about!

Oh, MLK, Jr. would just LOVE this cartoon!! As do I!! Good one, Clay. :) And great blog about your trip. Thank you for the update!! I'm also glad you finally had some good pizza - it would be a shame to go to Chi Town and not get any of the good stuff.

What would it cost to have you create a cartoon from another's idea for a cartoon?

Answer that at your peril, some lottery winning fool, definitely not me, could entice you to a pampered yet boring life style

Yes, this is half joking

Ha. Nothing really. I just wouldn't do it because I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

Also thanks for not doing an RFK JR. Cartoon. Mine is in my notes and it's FABULOUS.

Well lemme know what you think. A lot of folks thought the cub flipping Jr. off was a nice touch.

I was part of the experience of having pizza at Nick and Vito's. My host grew up on the South Side hanging there with his buddies, and his sharing that was generous. So yeah, I wanted to experience it too and Old Style was part of that.

A bit watery and not a strong taste, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I think I have said this before - your ideas are the only the ideas. Your mind has to be a whirlwind of ideas, images and other unimaginables to come up with the drawings you do. I don’t know how you do it but keep on doing it.
