Steve ifi K Steve Gipson brought a combination of music and art to the USCS cam- pus on a November afternoon. The zany cartoonist and comedian draws caricatures of famous popular and not so popular people; such as the Beatles, Walter Cronkite, Richard M. Nixon and even Jimmy Carter. Steve Gipson ' s show consists of crazy cartoons drawn to the rhythm of favorite music and tales that produced many a chuckle. In an interview Steve Gipson said I want to proceed with my comedy and become a big star. I only use my drawing as a prop for the comedy. It ' s a gimmick. Every comedian has a gimmick. After the show, Steve obliged the avalanche of students and proceeded to draw caricatures for those patient enough to wait. 21
