Daredevils and Dreamers is an Emmy nominated film about early aviation produced by director-screenwriter Michael Laurence. The film premiered on public television August 18, 1998. It told the story with a wonderful selection of photos, film clips and some re-creation. One story about three early barnstormers - Pete Brucia, Bert Acosta and Roscoe Turner - was related with Don's illustrations shown here. A voice over by Pete Brucia provided the narrative.
If you read the blurb on the back cover of this joke book illustrated by Don and published by Scholastic, Inc. in 1991, you will know that kids really had it tough before texting and portable DVD players. How long will it be before a kid says: "I hope we're not there yet!"
This is one of three joke books published in 1988 by Scholastic, Inc. that Don illustrated. Looks like Don invented a new game with his cover illustration. Maybe someone should try it?!
One of the thirty plus joke books Don has illustrated is titled The Laugh-A-Minute Joke Book. It was published by Scholastic, Inc. in 1989. This is Don's 16th joke book in this blog, so we're about half way there! Hope you get at least two laughs -- front and back!
Don says "all the cartoonists" used to make up aliases for French Cartoons & Cuties. These four cartoons are old-style, so who would guess? We'll have to take his word for it. (No reason to doubt!) 
Couldn't she have waited at least until after the honeymoon?! This cartoon was published March 12, 1987.
That's a low blow, sonny! Published Feb. 17, 1972. By the way, Don did not have any kids of school age at the time.
Don't you wish you had just half her energy! Published January 30, 1987. Wonder where it's spring that time of year?
Printed Feb. 12, 1987. Our advice to this husband is to eat it all quickly!
Published March 18, 1971 this cartoon is part of the Hippy era. Obviously the uncle whose will is being read did not approve! Notice the guy to the hippy's left. Don't his smirk and his haircut and his suit suggest he's the beneficiary?
This cartoon was printed September 25, 1971 before pre-nuptial agreements were all the rage. We're sure this mother-of-the-bride would have nixed it if pre-nups had been common. Doesn't she look like she could do it, too?
This one appears a little crooked because that's how it was laid out in the newspaper from which the cartoon was clipped. Still a good gag though! (Published February 25, 1972)
We sure would like to know what the chef's special was! Any ideas? Remember when this "oldie" was published: May 20, 1965.
