re: #367 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

Looks like the monsters we used to draw in Junior High—based on Ed Roth’s “Rat Fink” drawings. That was in the early 60s.

Ed Roth was my childhood hero. I got to meet him a couple of times in the early ’70s at the drags at the Tucson Race Track. He was a really nice guy and gave me some pointers about illustration and printing methods. The second time I chatted him up, his friend and another hero of mine, the equally legendary driver Shirley Muldowney, came over and gave Ed a big hug and he introduced her to me. I was in seventh heaven.
