I trust you got YOUR clocks set ahead.
I'm not sure what drew me to this Amazon Prime
show, but it turns out Dave Stevens was a world-class cartoonist
who lived in San Diego for a while and died young from leukemia.
This film shows a lot of his work, interspersed with interviews of
fellow artists who knew him, including our own Scott Shaw! '68.
Check it out if you can.
Dave Kiley, who was still pedaling a Big Wheel in
the family driveway when I was trying to impress the chicks at
Oscar’s in my family hand-me-down ’52 Ford with Pep Boys Mickey
Mouse White Sidewalls, let me know that the Hamburger House was on
Menlo and El Cajon and — in fact — Oscar’s was on Euclid and El
Cajon. Dave, a ’72 Colt, even forwarded a link to back up his
claim. He didn’t read the fine print. The link was posted by some
guy named John Fry (did that RHYME?). Click HERE
and enjoy.
I thought for sure we'd seen this Mission Valley photo before, but apparently not. I spent some time this past week trying gather all my Mission Valley photos on one page. Click HERE and see what you think.
