So a while ago I challenged some of the artists here to draw my two favorite Williams in a fight. They correctly dismissed my challenge as a waste of time. Luckily, I found a guy that will draw anything for two dollars. Here ya go:

I didn't reject it as a waste of time! I don't reject anything as a waste of time. That's the problem, actually. I had too many other things to waste time on first.

Anyway, he probably did a better job than I would have. Razz

Colin, my man, you're always our go-to guy when we need two caricatures of survived hippies fighting each other.

Well, y'know, I'll do it for free, but it will take me approximately twenty thousand years to get around to it.

Edit: This is also a reminder of the other projects or requests I have lying around. I'm sorry! I haven't forgotten. At least, I don't think I've forgotten anyone... Frown

I take issue with this post on two points. To wit:

1.) William S. Burroughs predates hippies by a decade or two.

2.) He survived the 60s all right, and also survived a recurrent heroin/morphine/dilaudid habit, but he's dead now.

Carry on.

Nice picture, by the way; The Man is about to slug WSB with that big ole Royal, I can tell.

I myself got past never feeling good without heroin/morphine by just realizing that never feeling good... ain't so bad.

Battered, deep fried fish (walleye, crappie) can get me close. Close enough.

I was hoping so, but one never knows.

I suppose the italics should have told me for certain.

Cannot help but notice that Burroughs looks an awful lot like Split.

I mean, I know Split would never attack The Man, not that he could take him, even with a firearm and a three-piece suit, but, you know, that Washington State seems to crank out the serial killers.

He wouldn't bring a big knife to watch him get an award, for example...
