1)What was your inspiration which became the Iconic poster 'POVERTY SUCKS', and can you remember the day it was decided?
It was originally my Christmas Card and as I recall we came up with the idea in October or November 1976
2)What is the funniest memory or occasion that came from this poster?
When I was trying to borrow $1,000,000 to open the first Champions Sports Bar I walked into a Bank and the president had the poster on the wall in his private office.
3)If you could name 5 interesting people you would like to meet or have met who would they be?
Marilyn Monroe, Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Lou Gehrig and Buster Crabbe.
4)What's your favorite song?
"We are the Champions" by Queen
5)Would The Emperor's New Clothes be able to have you wear one for us??!!!
Not sure I understand but yes I would.
6)Would you say the Poster that so many people can readily recognize change your life in any way after it became famous?
I brought me a lot of attention and publicity which complimented my continuing success. I also made a great business/baseball card.
7)What makes you happy now?
Working out at the gym, collecting antique cars and Samurai swords plus simply relaxing in the privacy of my home.
8)Will you design a T shirt for us?
I would be happy to if I ever have another inspiration.
