The story behind this drawing was that Chuck Jones going to appear at the Capital Children's Museum and I called them asking about tickets. They said it was a black tie event. I said I could buy a black tie. They said I apparently didn't know what a black tie event was. They were right. I wrote to Chuck saying I would have loved to see him but I couldn't afford to attend a black tie event. He sent me this sketch. I later talked to his daughter when he was in town for a Smithsonian prize and she said he almost never sends a sketch so I was very lucky. Unfortunately, I kept it framed on my wall for decades and it yellowed with age. |
