 | | When Steve Benson was a young boy producing crayon doodlings that eventually led him into a career as a professional editorial cartoonist, his mother gave him some advice. |
 | | However, Steve says his proudest achievement was receiving "The Parched Cow Skull Award" from the Arizona Office of Tourism for "the least positive contribution" to the snowbird industry. |
 | | Steve loves animals -- so much so, in fact, that at one time or another, he has had a home zoo featuring ferrets, iguanas, tortoises, turtles, lizards, pythons, rabbits, dogs, cats, parrots, cockatiels, doves, finches, parakeets, conures and a macaw -- but, as of yet, no partridge in a pear tree. |
