	Cheesecake, Appendix ABPEAP: Who is...
		Robust commercial artist George Petty (1894-1975) began a series of color cartoons for Esquire in the early 1930s, featuring gorgeous girls and their unlikely unhandsome suitors.
		Soon the beauties with their dazzling smiles and sleek-as-a-Buick curves held solo center stage, and the "Petty Girl" was born; in the early 1940s, when he bolted Esquire in a money dispute, Petty was replaced by (the also underpaid) Alberto Vargas.
		Petty or Varga-level fame eluded Moore, but his pin-ups are among the best of the late 1940s early '50s, bridging the glamour girls-next-door of Elvgren and the post-war, modern look of Chiriaka and others.

		George took a liking to skiffle music (a genre of folk-derived music played on acoustic guitars, string basses, and washboards), an appreciation he shared with a cherub-faced chum from the Liverpool Institute named Paul McCartney.
		George was sufficiently inspired by the group's success to drop out of the Liverpool Institute to pursue his rock-and-roll dream more earnestly, working as an electrician's apprentice to pay his living expenses (he soon quit because he kept blowing things up).
		George had always been frustrated in the songwriting department by the prolific Lennon and McCartney (though Harrison did contribute such hits as "Something," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and "Here Comes the Sun," among others), and the end of the Beatles sparked in him something of a musical rebirth.

		But the next fact is not in doubt: Having announced Sept. 14 that Petty would stay on while his successor was sought, Telus then replaced him with Canfield Sept. 22.
		The closest we'll likely ever get to it is that George Petty may have been considering whether to resign and cash in when he proposed the Clearnet/Call-Net acquisitions, then did so when the Telus board didn't back him.
