Postcard - Astoria, Oregon
"The bridge across the mouth of the mighty Columbia River linking the southwest corner of Washington State with Astoria, Oregon."
1960s.
This photo was taken from the Oregon side. Driving on this bridge can get pretty exciting when the wind is kicking up.

Morty Comix # 2671
Morty Comix # 2671 was drawn on my half-swept driveway using special Spongebob Squarepants chalk. It felt quite prehistoric to be doing this, and I realized the image was a bit on the basic/primal side. Hard to draw much detail with the implements and "canvas" on hand. By the next day our famous Washington State rain washed it completely away. When the rain returns after a dry summer we Mossbacks are happy.

Postcard - Ashland, Oregon
"Elizabethan stagehouse of the Oregon Shakespearian Festival, Ashland is patterned after the Fortune Theatre of 1599 London. Desgined by Richard L. Hay, it features multiple playing areas with varying levels, allowing the production of Shakespeare's plays in one continuous flow of action. This is the home of America's First Elizabethan Theatre, the oldest in the Western Hemisphere annually producing the plays of Shakespeare on the type of stage for which they were written."

Favorite Movie Quotes: Casino
"In the casino, the cardinal rule is to keep them playing and to keep
them coming back. The longer they play, the more they lose, and in the
end, we get it all."

Morty Comix # 2669
Morty Comix # 2669 was tucked under a corner table in a Tumwater, Washington pizza joint. Interesting the word "new" is written under the tabletop amid the wads of dried gum.
