This is great...

"Hi George...Great fun to see my animated overhead view of the WKGN studios back in 1973. I left that as sort of a parting gift to my co-workers when I was transferred to WMAK in Nashville. Each cartoon character is a representation of one of the “Cookin’ KGN” employees. Yes, there was a salesman named Andy who always absconded with the newspaper as he made his morning visit to the men’s room, and yes, Bob Baron frequently played with remote control airplanes (or other toys) in his office. Though the image makes some of it illegible, I remember most of it. Brandon had mentioned he had the original drawing a while back, but this is the first time I have seen it since I drew it. BTW~ after this I abandoned my hopes of becoming a successful cartoonist and decided to stick to radio! "
