[Not in play] Question for @Elmer_J.Fudd : Do you know who the artist of that picture is? The style reminds me of that done by an old friend. Wondering if it is by my old friend. [/Not in play] ---

Thanks, @running_coach . Not my old friend, but very reminiscent of his style. He was an illustrator also, and did a lot of covers for Harlequin bodice-rippers, but he’d also illustrate stories in magazines, he did ads (always enjoyed seeing his work in the Toronto subway), and similar. What twigged me to thinking of my old friend was his rendition of the man and the woman. He was a master of figure drawing, clothed and unclothed (yes, I’ve seen his nudes), and he had rendering the human body down pat. Thanks again for the name of the artist! Okay, enough hijack. Let’s get back to the caption contest. ---

Mike felt a little guilty taking the woman’s money, but then again those airport parking charges had got completely out of control lately. ---
