Additional Details

Ed has so many different styles and was always working toward one another. I love this particular style. I'm sorry he gave it up. Sorel, Levine and I saw ourselves as a kind of a lefty radical threesome in the cartoon commentary world. We identified with each other, although we were very, very different in the kinds of work we did. Ed was influenced by a lot, and you never knew who he was going to turn into. We were good friends and we all had very similar politics. We culturally identified with each other. I met Ed when I was starting out, I think even before I was in the Voice, I came across The Push Pin Almanac that Milton Glaser and Seymour Chwast and others were putting out. It was all a device to distribute their work and get work. To get assignments before they were commercially viable. It worked. I went up to see the guys because I thought maybe I could be part of that group, but Milton, who was the boss there, didn't think much of me. Ed told me that he was nothing in the beginning, but a salesman. He wasn't a cartoonist then. Finally, he became part of it. That's how we met.
