A guy asks for a sketch and I say ‘Only if you’re buying a book.’ he says, ‘Okay, what’s the cheapest book you have?’. “I’m selling the Bacchus Color Special at cover price, three bucks.” ‘Will you draw a sketch if I buy one of those?” “yes.” I sigh. So he pulls out his pad. As I’m starting in, “Can you make it a drawing of me?” So now he’s making things difficult and I’m beginning to feel restless. But I start sketching the generality of his physiognomy. He butts in again: “Can you make it of me, but have me being stabbed to death by a London prostitute?” Now I have to angle the thing so that he’s falling over. “And make the prostitute Marie Kelly.” I’m starting to feel pissed off now. I finish the job as quickly as I can. At the last moment a thought occurs to me. I execute it. As Marie Kelly murderously brings down that blade and the blood spurts, I give her a word balloon. In it she is saying: “Take that, you cheap bastard!” and I make sure it has the guy’s name on it. He seems pleased and thanks me.
