I was an enigma hen though I had more Scions cartoons reproduced than anyone in the history of the school paper less than a dozen folks knew my true identity. For several reasons I signed my drawings with the name of a chump mentioned but nett( seen in the 1934 W.C. Freida mane Its a Gift talon. Carl Primarily. I did not want a certain portion of the faculty to know that I was for the Bruin. My first cartoons were labored. Each was drawn differently And each one took me all night to complete I wanted every line and gesture to be perfect Often I would ante the same caption 3D or more times before I pasted down the one I thought was Minted best. My Bruin first koked like a grizzly. then Snoopy, Poo Mickey Mouse and eventually the Hathaway shirt man I gave him his eye-patch on October 22. 1966 I figured my drawings would be very forgettable if I didn ' t give my bear a gimmick, or trademark.

Awhile back, the Southern Campus office received a small white envelope slipped under the door. The message inside was cryptic but simple. It instructed us to answer the phone at 4:38 pm. The staff was mystified but when the phone rang at that time the editor answered the phone to a handkerchief laden, stuffy-nosed voice. With curt poiliteness the voice instructed us to include a tribute to the great LaFong. After finding out about LaFong and his accomplishments we consented to include this tribute. In addition, the here-to-fore anonymous LaFong softens up a bit as, in his own words, he lets us verbally peek at some of his closely guarded secrets.
