Mmmmm- corn on the cob!
Here’s another Tribune illustration…an R.Crumb inspired cheery fellow likely to brighten your day…or creep you out!
Here’s a Tribune
illustration honoring
the humble citron.
Don’t believe I ever ate
a citron, but I sampled
some citron liqueur which mon ami Mike brought back from
France, the epicenter of fine liqueurs. That’s a fine drink!
When Ann and I were in the wonderful land of Australia many years ago we ordered a pizza one evening while on an outing to Katoomba. One possible ingredient was the intriguing “capsicum”, so I had to try it and it turned out to be our common bell pepper! This one was drawn in Tobago but they’re good wherever you eat them.
And yet another Tribune illustration…Rapidograph and brush on paper and I used screens for the midtones, a technique I never used much. Devotees of root vegetables will find several depicted. The Food Dreamer at lower right is my father, who was in his late 40s at the time…younger than I am now!
