Hey. Rockfish...


While Bruce Hannum was mostly known for his expertise as a copywriter at the Daily creative dept. he was also an extraordinary artist himself. While no known copies of it exists (except maybe in Bruce's file cabinet) he was commisioned to do a portrait of our dutiful (Somali?) janitor and his wife. What did exist in my file folder was this great picture Bruce drew of James Garner as Jim Rockford. Done for yet another Crazy Days insert, Jimbo is seen here talking to a little seen character Bob from THE ROCKFORD FILES, some crazy old preacher man with an affinity for cats.
