Spontaneous Combustion

"If you're not good enough to be a cartoonist, maybe you can be an artist."
--S. Clay Wilson


In the late 50s Robert and his brother, Charles, published, Foo, a fanzine homage to funny animal comics -- in particular, Pogo -- and "bigfoot" cartoons like Smokey Stover.

But Jay Lynch and I inhabited the anteroom of comics fandom that celebrated satire and bohemian savior vivre. Like the humor of Lenny Bruce and Mort Sahl, and the hip urbanity of Playboy magazine. We had in common wit… Continue

At Playboy

When I heard that my defacto boss, Robert Baldi, had been shot dead by Chicago cops one thought crossed my mind. Unemployment.

So I called my friend Bob Post, an art director at Playboy, and arranged to meet him and Roy Moody for lunch. Lunch with these two guys was always a challenging experience. A perilous hike into uncertain territory handicapped only that we are, out of the gate, drunk as skunks. Bouts of drinking that lead to bouts of drinking that lead to heated discourse on the s… Continue
