A Cartoonist's Adventures in Radio:

What in the world is "radio illustration," you ask? Who can listen to images like illustrations and cartoons? Well, it's not quite that simple. The best explanation is looking at it from the perspective of the cartoonist! I began drawing cartoons and funny illustrations when I was a little kid. It was an obsession that has carried on into my adulthood. Radio World asked me to share some of my work and the story behind it. In the early 1970s, when the CB radio craze was rising in popularity, I placed a small classified ad in a trade publication. S-9 Magazine was devoted to citizen band radio enthusiasts across the United States and Canada. With knowledge in the area of CB and an interest in cartooning, I decided to offer to create "custom QSL cards." (As many Radio World readers will know, a QSL is a radio enthusiast's calling card of sorts. They're a postcard-sized with the user's call letters, their preferred channel they hang out at and of course, their "handle." Even radio broadcasters sometimes have them!)
