Thanks for reading.

When a high school sophomore in 1976, I was foolish enough to attend prom dateless while the girl I wanted to have taken attended with someone else. During the evening I secured a promise that she would dance the next slow song with me. When the band struck up Color My World she said, "I'll dance with you the next one." There wasn't another slow song. When I like a piece of music I'll listen to it over and over. When I started drawing a cartoon a day - about two weeks previous to this prom - I picked out the longest single piece I had in my collection so that I'd have to turn the phonograph needle back least often while drawing. In that way the alltime theme for my daily cartoons became the Ballet for a Girl from Buchanan suite on Chicago II. Color My World is one movement of Ballet for a Girl in Buchanan. I try to draw about unhappiness in love every May 7.
