Can you conceive of any magazine today where the art director has such a high profile, that would devote an issue to a puzzle like this, with a readership who would care or know enough to speculate on (and correctly identify) the mystery illustrator? My how times have changed. I also like the use of the old fashioned term 'picture-making' in the Artist X letter.Jack Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003755708951409832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-41623030645195528292007-10-27T17:24:00.000-04:002007-10-27T17:24:00.000-04:00Thanks gents!

I've been TRICKED and TREATED to a very entertaining post, all at the same time. However, I have to "save face" just a bit... I honestly thought that all but the last illustration were illustrated by artists who were probably influenced by Al Parker... but then most illustrators were. Also, the thought popped into my head that most of these illustrators, if they pursued illustration full time, could give Al Parker a run for his money... very tough to compete against yourself, but Parker was up to the task. It certainly was an interesting experiment by Atherton... and they both pulled it off beautifully. <BR/>Must have been a fat month of billing for Al Parker!!<BR/><BR/>CONCLUSION: <BR/>Donald Rumsfeld knew it was Al Parker all along... but kept his mouth shut.<BR/><BR/>Tom WatsonTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237565169344311948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-21646847163073508562007-10-26T14:17:00.000-04:002007-10-26T14:17:00.000-04:00HA!
