70's fashion victim alert! Gimmie a break, I was 9. What a time. Elvis still had a month left and Star Wars was all the rage, but all that mattered to me that night was scoring a double Disney fix (The Rescuers and No Depost, No Return).

A more accurate rendition of the Super Chief, this one from July 1977. I was 9 when I drew this. Please excuse the poor scanning job. Tonight's feature is Disney's Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo (you'd think it was Death Race 2000).

Hopefully this is legible. My apologies if it isn't. Every kid has a hero. Here was mine. Can you spot the typo?
