Met Sergio Aragonés when I was 11; He told me to keep drawing & 30 yrs later when I saw him again & told him about my animation career he was so genuinely excited to hear it. Recreating the old photo was his idea 👍

I remember doing this "photo" of the PPGs for the wanted poster that wound up being replaced by the contest winner's drawing for this reason. ... SHOWBIZ!
CN opened the contest up to all ages & let the fans pick the winner without knowing the context of the drawing in the story. Because this had to look like a little kids drawing I picked another contestant for the one prof finds & we used the actual fans winner in the newspaper.
