WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE MY FRIEND ROBERT SAID TO ME, "YOU SHOULD DRAW A PIECE OF CHEESE RIDING A HORSE." SO I PULLED OUT MY ART STUFF AND IN A MATTER OF MOMENTS COWBOY CHEESE WAS BORN (SEE ABOVE). WHEN I TURNED MY PAPER AROUND AND SHOWED ROBERT, HE LAUGHED. THAT WAS IN 1998.
OVER THE YEARS I'VE ADDED OTHER CHARACTERS AND SCENES, BUT COWBOY CHEESE REMAINS PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY AS I DREW HIM SO MANY YEARS AGO. ROBERT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR. HE USED TO LAY IT ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO HIS DRUM KIT WHEN HE WAS PLAYING MUSIC AT LOCAL COFFEE SHOPS. ROBERT WOULD ALWAYS POINT IT OUT TO ME AND WE'D BOTH LAUGH.
