  5. Thanks, all.

    AH, maybe he is, if your prof moved to Chicago and became a painter.

    Linda, it does look like that. So funny.

  8. He immediately looked like Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. to me. But a prof works too--hard to imagine this as a guy who's NOT in the arts, the life of the mind, in some way.

    I think it is the hair because face not particularly similar.

  12. Twain and Vonnegut! Never thought of that, but it just might be a Ph.D. dissertation for some youngster.

  13. Thanks, Jane and Chieftess.

    Twain works too. Actually better.

    Banjo, dissertation topics always welcome. One never knows when one will be needed.
