Phone photo 861
On the left, my paternal grandparents born 1887 and 1890, portraits drawn into wood by Mary Ann Bigelow about 25 years ago. The ports were taken from a photo taken around 1906-1907. Londy and Calla were products of the border region of Kentucky/Virginia.
The chalk portrait is me at the Seattle World's Fair ca. 1962.
All three of us were destined to spend most of our lives in the 20th century (unless I live into my 90s). I only overlapped in time with my grandmother for a few years, but long enough for her to be branded into my memory.

Steve Willis and Morty the Dog : Sometimes You Feel Like a Mutt / by Bruce Chrislip
An article Bruce Chrislip wrote for The Comics Journal # 219 (January 2000).
A nice way to say goodbye to the 20th Century.

The Wrong Foot
1st published August 2001. 32 copies on yellow cardstock.
The 1st Danger Room Reprint Ed. of June 2005 had 5 copies on red cardstock.
Drawn with a #1 lead pencil.
As you can tell, I didn't have a lot of confidence in George W. Bush in his role as President even though he had only been in office for eight months when this was published. I'm afraid my opinion didn't improve over time.
Oddly, the most enthusiastic readers of this little comic were Republicans!
