Reports say he just sat down and drew in ink. No pencils. I saw some of his originals at a museum in Newark, and there was no sign of underdrawing, erasure, or corrections—except for one that had a fair amount of white paint in a pattern suggesting that someone overturned an ink bottle.
Once, McCay got to his office, and the editor was wailing that the [Chicago] fire department had some new piece of equipment and nobody had a picture of it. McCay sat down and drew it, having walked past it on his way in.
