Rodak Asks: Who Dat?

As promised, here is a photographic portrait--as close as I could find to the facial expression in the drawing--of the individual portrayed in the previous "Who Dat?" Does that help?



Be that as it may, here is a much easier one:

We will now take a short hiatus from Thomas Pynchon to present another installment of "Who Dat?" This one may be more obscure than were previous offerings. In addition to not depicting an American pol, it will be noted that the art class assignment had evidently moved on from strict line drawings to more use of shading. So, who is it?


I'd never have guessed, as I was drawing this portroon from a photo, that a bit more than a decade later I would meet the man in person.

Rodak Asks: Who Dat?

XOkay, this one's surely a gimme, and time has expired on the previous offering. The benignity of the portrait below is reflective of the (now hard to remember) fact that in 1964 when it was drawn this man was still wearing a white hat:






Just three years later, his tagline was “I coulda been a contender!” The current resident of the White House should take a deep breath and learn from history.

A definitive I.D.--or further remarks--will be welcomed in the comment section.

This "Who Dat" offering is a bit more obscure, although the mug was highly visible and recognizable, back in the day. "The day" would have been 1964-1965, when I was a senior in high school. These drawings, which I have now dubbed "portroons," were drawn for an assignment in an art class I took.

UPDATE.1: Wow! There was a freudian typo, if ever there was one. I had myself in high school in the 1990s! LoL! If only!

Today begins a new little feature--which will be short-lived--again based on my current "boxing backwards" project.

Found in one of those ancient boxes was a small cache of portraits, or cartoons (okay, then, "portroons") mostly in pencil, of some men who were prominent in the early-to-mid 1960s, when I sketched them. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify these personages in the comments section.

I've started you off with an easy one, which is actually one of the notebook margin doodles.

Addendum: I should have noted that in addition to being the only notebook doodle in the series, this one is the only true caricature--the rest will all be portroons.
