That caricature of Dave Smith is from a painting I did of him showing an old Donald Duck toy in the Archives to Donald and his nephews. I'd created it as a gift for Dave when I first met him in 1981, as a way of thanking him for hosting my first visit to The Disney Studio. It's funny how that caricature has gotten around in the years since. It was used as the masthead for Dave's column in the Disney magazine for some time, and I even saw it reproduced as one of those collectible cloisonne pins at the theme parks. Though I'm flattered to still be seeing it, I do wish that Disney had offered me some compensation for its commercial usage, as it was only intended as a personal gift. Ah well...
