Never realized this was you

All this time seeing this picture on the web and in your book, never realized this was young Rip.

You looked like a damn gorilla back in the day.

Once again, this is Roger Estep. Not me. Once again.

I liked the Bill Starr one better. Rip seems to get most of his inspiration from Starr. Why'd you edit it?

[Brian Patton]

Context seemed slightly off upon further reflection. Plus, he really did know Bill Starr--quite well, in fact, from what I've since been reading--so it didn't even make sense, and felt overly personal. Didn't realize Bill passed only last year; I'm still playing catchup. And where I come from, you don't take cheap jabs like that, even in jest.

But don't worry, this Proximo meme will show up again from time to time. I think I've found my calling around here. At least until I finally get banned for conduct unbecoming.

No, its Moger Esippatoe.
