Hector's Last Days: The Mort Walker-Charles Schulz Tribute

In 1959, I went off to Philadelphia to study IBM TAB Equipment, its programming, wiring and operation. At the school I met Tom Newman. He was from Clementon, New Jersey and we had a lot in common. We were the same age, we were both in this technical school and we were both studying art with an interest in cartooning. I admired Charles Schulz and he was a fan of Mort Walker. One day he wondered what Beetle Bailey would be like if written by Schulz. I went home and drew the four panel comic that appears in Hector's Hectic Life today.

We continue Pacquin's attempt to connect with Charles de Gualle, who he think is his father, add the Kingston Trio to Tatters and another random image of America.
