The Vacancy Sign Is Always On At The Drifterhotel

So who is this guy, the manager of the Drifterhotel? It is, of course, highly likely that you don't want to know, but we'll tell you anyway. Of course. He came on the Nevada scene about a quarter century ago after working at various publications in Southern California (That's not the best thing to put on a resume), at a fine publication in Northern California (Near Berkeley, so that's probably OK), worked the streets of the Comstock for a Virginia City publication (That's the best one for a résumé), and excels in making one of the best marinara sauces you've tasted.

Woody isn't unlike hundreds of thousands of us who managed to survive the '60s despite every effort by those in power to have us hauled off and done away with. His cartoons are a form of poetry that dances through the mind, and, at least for this old journalistic dog, conjures some wonderful memories.
