Over on his weblog, Daryl Cagle has a report on last Saturday night's CAPS banquet honoring Jack Davis and Sergio Aragonés. If you visit that page, you'll also see a photo of the lovely new award, "The Sergio," and a photo of Daryl with Mr. Davis. They're standing next to one of the pieces of original Jack Davis art that was on display — the poster Davis painted for the Woody Allen movie, Bananas. This is from my collection but for complicated reasons, it was taken home from the event by Bill Morrison, my friend who runs Bongo Comics and loves Jack Davis art. What do you think the odds are I'm ever going to see my Bananas painting again? I'm guessing low.
