... the Beatles' appearance on Ed Sullivan, The Saturday Evening Post published a cartoon I did about them. I was a junior in high school, and I was a hero for about a week before I went back to being the kid who scribbled pictures in the back of algebra class.
I wish I still had a copy of that 'toon. It featured a Dad with his back to the front door dropping his martini, when his daughter came in with a Beatle by the arm, and the caption read, "A what followed you home and can you keep him?"
It was my first professional cartoon. I got $75 for it. I still make my living as an artist.
