Yes, we produced a number of homemade comics--he was a much better artist than I was... kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is a car ride, I would have loved to have been a passenger in. As kind as I have heard, Sean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the finest gentlemen I have ever met. And his wife was the sweetest lady ever. She got food poisoning and I ended up taking them both to the hospital. She was violently ill, and not one cross or distressed word was ever spoken. That was one crazy weekend. He had signed some absolutely amazing books, and was always a little bemused that people wanted sigs on the cover. He worked very hard to find unobtrusive spots and did every signature meticulously. Just warm, friendly, kind people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just warm, friendly, kind people! I only met Murphy Anderson and his wife at one of the old shows in Boston. They were only doing the show as they were in the area to visit their daughter. He was the only guest at that show and yet no one was going up to him and they had nothing extra to sell. He was just there to sign a book if anyone wanted his signature. He talked about his time in the service and how it influenced some of his work. What I did admire about both of them is that they were both dressed like they were going to Sunday church service. He was just a real gentleman. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
