Or he may find out soon what happens when you smoke while piloting an aircraft. (I apologize for any mistypings…I typed this “blind” because a ‘Carambola’ ad is covering most of my screen.)
For those youngsters who don’t recognize the homage, “Steve Canyon” and “Terry and the Pirates” were both newspaper strips drawn (in this style of art) by Milt Caniff. Caniff left Terry and the Pirates due to a lack of creative control in 1946 and ended in 1976. He then started Steve Canyon which ended in 1988 following his death. Caniff was known for both his realistic style of artwork and his fondness for “good girl” art, a style carried on by Cho.

Oooo, two great obscure references in one name. I love it, wonder how many people will pick up on it?

The first silhouette is an Aero Commander, but the closeup canopy isn’t… Continuity, Mr. Cho, continuity. :)

Apologies to Milton Caniff?
