Corky Trinidad, Yankee Doodle
It’s the early ’80s. Star-Bulletin cartoonist Corky Trinidad became a US citizen and we whipped up a party in the newsroom. The snapshot has that Polycontrast IV RC look to it favored by photogs of the era. In the background, that’s myself and editor John Simonds, while Reggie Choy, legendary backshop Xacto-wielder, admires Corky’s cake.

I didn’t recognize you til you mentioned the handsome guy with the beard was you! So, were you in your 20s back then?
BTW, Burl, I need to replace part of a kanack ceiling where the smoke detector is. David said it contains asbestos, having been installed in 1963. True?
If true, is there a special way to dispose of the kanack, and how does one prevent the dust from spreading throughout the house? The ceiling is located in the hall.
jeez. I worked with kanak for long time. never heard it contained any asbestos. Bought da squares at sh!tty mill for replacement. they never mentioned it either.
Nor have any of my contractors I worked with. Just because something was manufactured 40/50 years ago, does not automatically presuppose it contains Asbestos.
“I didn’t recognize you til you mentioned…”
WHAAATTT?!
That stance, that pose, that ol’ hippie savoire fare, that understated charisma of casual aplomb is a registered trademark of B. Burlingame and has been, since time immemorial, gimme a break, now Jesusss kee-Rice, fuggeddabouddit!
Sigh . . .King’s Bakery on the cake box caught my eye right away.
You look so serious leaning against the wall back there…..
Spelled “canec.” Contains arsenic, not asbestos.
