My first book, which I actually DID submit, alas, it did not fit the publisher's needs, was Reports from the Second Armadillo-Chipmunk War. The uncompleted sequel, from which, all these pictures, involved a much stronger Armadillo Military getting ready in case the chipmunks--or anyone else--wanted 'another go.' These were all drawn from 1980 to 1983. At the least, you're getting a weird look at how the later Cold War affected a weird teenager with an interest in all things military, and who found Armadillos amusing and easy to draw.

That was the age of the hovercraft, and an intensely addictive Steve Jackson microgame called 'G.E.V.'
