Cryogenic Comix # 23

The drawings are felt tip on thin bond, probably drawn in the first half of 1980.
Old memories resurface as I rediscover my own drawings from about two/thirds of my life ago.
The equine drawings come from my upbringing on a 55-acre farm where my Dad raised Shetlands as a sideline. For part of the summer of 1980 I went down there to help build a barbed-wire fence. I recall that every time I slammed that posthole digger into the ground a little cloud of ash from the Mt. St. Helens eruption from May 18, 1980 would rise up. Heavy dense stuff. Most likely still in my lungs today!
Notes: The TV antenna sort of dates this, as does the Dean Rusk reference. Actually even in 1980 most people had forgotten about Dean Rusk, one of the "Best and the Brightest."
