Are you telling the "bad boys" to stop??

Not Likely!

This is marvellous!
May I suggest that those in possession of Sheridan Anderson originals also consider scanning the drawings, front and back, in as high resolution as is possible? Peter H seems to know about such things. A scan isn't an original, but at least contains as much of the information from the original as is possible in such a format. Another thing, of course, is security and insurance. A thief robbing a house may simply take it, not knowing anything more than that it's hanging on the wall in the study, maybe in a nice frame.

An unusual one from the back cover of Summit May/June 1965.

“Eternal Foe of the Work Ethic” YEAH! That really WAS Sheridan!
I can still hear him ranting on and on about how Utah’s nickname was/is “The Beehive State!” The tone of complete disdain in Sheridan’s voice as he spoke about everyone working together to make honey/money is still SO VIVID in my memory. I wonder if he ever did a drawing reflecting those sentiments…
So WHERE are his sketchbooks??? DR-Any thoughts?
Thanks, Steve, for the Grandma one. On the inside back cover of that same issue are these:
Cragman: The “longer runners” one is not in “Basic Rockcraft.”

I can't recall another silhouette cartoon like the Grandma one by Sheridan.

I was lookin' to see if I'd posted this one of Sheridan on this thread since it is a classic "Hero" shot. An artist himself, Sheridan was a fan of the early western artist Frederic Remington. He posed for this hero shot while joking about the heroics portrayed in Remington's paintings.

Did he ever do any acting, or similar things?

Sheridan was always acting.

Actually, I think Sheridan was more like a continuous stand-up comedian. Humor seemed to flow out of him like, well..., honey from a slightly open container, enhancing the flavors of ourselves as well our perspectives of his favored subjects, like RR, especially.
I think the only two climbers whom I ever met who had such a natural gift for humor were Roy Coates (from L.A. in the late 50's/early 60's) and, of course, TM Herbert. Someone once commented that Roy's humor came even more naturally than TM's. But all three of them had the ability to keep one in a nearly constant state of laughter.

He would have had plenty to laugh at had he stuck around...

Tami: I don't know of William Nealy or his cartoon works, but if they are about kayaking, I would like to see some of his works. Could you please post up a few here or some links? It'd be interesting to see if he and Sheridan addressed similar themes in their respective sports. Thanks.

Thanks so much, Tami! And could you please post a link to your new thread on this thread? My REAL life has been intruding is such ways (good, tho, intense ways!) that I haven't even been a decent lurker here in the past couple of months, so I might miss a new thread if you don't. Again, thank you.
Edit: I see you've put up the new thread! Thanks! Here is the link to it:

I found Sherian's name on your page.
He was my best friend 30years ago.
He and I lived in Chiroquin Oregon at that time.
I still keep the letters from him after I came back to Japan.
I wish to share his sripit with someone who likes him.

Hi Midori,
I visited Sheridan's home in Chiloquin many times. Perhaps we met there, but my memory is terrible. Welcome to our little group here. Sometimes silly, sometimes crazy, but we all loved Sheridan and still treasure our memories of him.
Join on in. Tell us about some times you shared. We would love to hear from you. Maybe you would like to share some of your letters with us. Or just pieces of them. I have letters from Sheridan with great drawings on the envelopes. I can't find them right now, but when I do I'll bring them here for us all to enjoy.

Midori wrote me about her time with Sheridan and recalled this moment...
He said before he died.
Do not forget to look up at the sky.
I will become a star and makes a wink.
Shine on you crazy diamond...

It's interesting that Sheridan's and Chuck Ostin's thread surface again at the same time.
I smile each time I think of them. Two of the most memorable characters from Camp 4 in 1965.
