Status Buys Privelege. Not.
In the world of the roach coach the "d" in the term maitre d' stands for "driver." And don't try to order a crepes au fromage. It's a quesadilla, buddy.

Cartoons, cartoons, cartoons.... John Crowther's Cartoon Odyssey
I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies. All cartoons are available as prints or originals, framed or unframed, through my website or e-mail.

Reminds me of a guy and his mom, who baked the sweets and stirred the soups. Their stand was located in a vacant lot behind Mansfield Studios (Mansfield and Sunset Boulevard). Constuction workers side by side with talent and execs sitting at picnic tables with smiles on their faces. Tons of greenbacks flowed to the creators of the best breakfast and lunch in Hollywood!
And that's quesadiLLa, with that LL (soft j) sound. Love your notes as much as the toons. Keep it up.
Great story, Rico. I've had better food at times from these trucks than you can get at Ma Maison. Some people say, "you know it's a deal when the check clears," but in Hollywood it's more like, "you know it's a deal when you're eating a breakfast burrito off the catering truck."
I thought of you when I wrote that, Andres. It's not "kay-sa-dee-ya," I know. Unfortunately that soft j sound doesn't exist in English." (It's like the g in Roget's Thesaurus.)
