    Is it Gorbechev?

    Larry, I’ve been enjoying these newspaper drawings you’ve been working on. Makes me think that maybe I should have saved those thousands of doodles on bills, envelopes, etc that I usually just throw in the recycling bin. Keep it up!

    Oh, I vote for Gorby as well. That Christmas Tree Shops logo is a dead giveaway.

    That’s the wrong hint Bill and Dale, but it made me laugh.

    I’ve been getting a lot of people e-mailing me directly. some are pretty funny. The funniest was barking up the wrong tree looking for people who were born on April 28th

    “I looked up birthdays for today but I don’t think that’s right unless that’s a terrible drawing of Jessica Alba.”

    I got the “new Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke”…Although it’s yet another slight at my drawing ability, I think they got the hint right.

    Looks like Alfred Hitchcock, but I don’t know what the hint is.

    You’re right, he does kinda look like AH. but that’s not the answer.

    Maybe my stumping you can be attributed to my poor drawing ability…then again, It’s not surprising that nobody knows this guy, but considering the sad state of affairs, maybe we should.

    Lisa and Alice,

    Good try, but no.

    I can sense that there is some”HELP WANTED”

    The Position this man now holds was first created in 1979 by April 22nd’s Doodle.
