Got it? Especially that last one. MMBN is not an acronym
for BM. So here's the upshot. Jack Corbett cannot
draw. That's me. I am a terrible artist and that's exactly
what I told Jeremy McTeague, my editor, when I was writing and shooting
pictures for "Xtreme Magazine". I was not a professional
photographer, well, yes and no, but I had great equipment back then and
that's what I found myself doing---professional photography of strippers
and feature entertainers all over the United States. So here I had
been writing my Dick Fitswell articles for Xtreme along with my guns and
babes articles and a whole lot more so I suppose Jeremy thought I could
do just about anything. When he told me to try to do a cartoon to
go with one of my Xtreme articles I told him, "I can't draw Jeremy", but
I drew a cartoon anyway and when Jeremy saw it he said: "You are
right, Jack, you cannot draw."
I understand that
Scott Waggoner (Greyghost) who used to do a few
cartoons for me years ago, died. Sadly I cannot begin to say how
much he's missed. And Dirt who conspired with me for 120 Death on
the Wild Side cartoon strips many years ago, has long ago been out of
touch with me. Most of the original 120 cartoon strips were lost
when a computer hard drive failed me more than a dozen years ago. And
now I'm in Thailand I just can't find the right person to do a cartoon
strip with me. So it looks like I'll just have to draw my own.
