Morty Comix # 2677 was tacked up on the "Happenings" portion of the public bulletin at the Olympia, Washington Eastside Food Co-Op.
In 1976 this building was the business headquarters for a local RV sales place. I had a brief job there washing and moving around giant Winnebagos. They fired me because I couldn't work on a weekend outside my schedule due to something else I had planned. I remember I had a co-worker from Germany who was pretty fun. My salary was probably 2 bucks an hour. Back then jobs were easy to come by, so I moved on. No big deal.
All the sales staff at that RV place looked like the kind of people I draw in Morty Comix, come to think of it! I had a wide variety of employment opportunities when I was young that introduced me to many characters who no doubt shaped my view of human nature and thus my portraits in Morty Comix.
Life is funny.
