After a little relaxation, Keith is ready to start on the Keith and Mary cartoons. We take photographs of each other in the pose he plans to use. We snap about a dozen photos of each of us. Often for these photos, he forces us to wear a costume so he can get folds and shadows right in the drawing. The worst for me was baggy red long johns for the hippie card. For him, I think he’d say the fairy card. Maybe that’s why we’ve never divorced: we have decades of blackmail photos on each other!
