My comic strip for the local paper, May 31, 1987. If I remember correctly, they paid me $5 for each editorial cartoon and ran the strip as a sort of bonus in lieu of pay. I would walk the two blocks to the storefront newspaper office and drop off the art. Inside I got my first glimpses of Mac (Classic) desktops, the paste-up room with those hot wax adhesive dispensers, 10″ floppy discs, and a photo darkroom. When I left each time I would catch a small, fleet dinosaur and ride that back home. Then we would eat it.
