I love Elwood Smith's cartoon illustrations, but I would NOT want to be anywhere near the beach portrayed here on this record sleeve from an album with a variety of musical artists.
We'll come back to an appreciation of Smith's illustrations later.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

It's got a nice Mad Magazine flavour that really reminds me of the summer of 1982, actually. Nice post.
Yes, I'm surprised Smith was not a contributor to Mad, at least that I know of.
Wow, that's a blast from my past! Fun to see again. -Elwood
