Speaking of Cartoons...
Anyone remember the drawings of Al Hirschfeld? He used to do drawings that would be published in the Arts & Leisure section of the Sunday NY Times. Whatever the new/hot play/actor of the moment was, Hirschfeld would caricature it/him/her. This was back when I used to "read" the Sunday NY Times as a kid living under the left-wing thumb(s) of my parents. Perhaps they were proud of their son, reading the pinko editorials, getting indoctrinated in the family religion. But I mostly liked finding the underwears ads in the magazine section. That and the Hirschfeld cartoon, the best part of which was finding the "Nina"'s. If you don't know, he would hide his daughter's name in his drawings noting the number of "Nina"'s hidden in the puzzle next his signature. That was cool. Something to pass the time before a hearty cheese sandwich lunch and six hours of one-on-one baseball with Dennis D'Alessio.
