I was looking on the www tonight and ran across this little tidbit about Dave:
Dave Deal Wins PRDA Man-of-the-Hour Award
From Vol. 2 No. 1 Issue of the PRDA News, © 1977
Dave Deal, famous wacky artist who's given us Deal's Wheels, Deal's Caricatures, the famous Revell model series, and many more important graphics, was chosen for this award for the following reason:
(Telephone): Ring...ring...ring...
(Oscar): Hello?
(Dave): Oscar? This is Dave Deal.
(Oscar): Oh, hi Dave.
(Dave): Well, I finally did it.
(Oscar): Did what, Dave?
(Dave): I flew my plane into a garbage truck in Mexico.
(Oscar): That's fantastic, Dave. How high was the truck flying?
Silence for a time from Dave. Finally...
(Dave): No Oscar, I was landing. I thought I was landing at this little airport in Mexico, when I was really landing on one of their streets. The garbage truck came out from a dump and wap! I hit the wing... more conversation... Oscar, I want to buy a membership for a friend of mine's wife.
(Oscar): Okay Dave. Why?
(Dave): Well she drove her car head on into a twin engine plane taking off from the Long Beach airport. She thought she was on the freeway.
(Oscar): Honest?
(Dave): Honest. Check with the FAA.
(Oscar): Okay Dave. She's in.
Later, after hanging up...
(Oscar): Boy, what some people won't do to get in the PRDA.
