I've had some interesting roommates over the years but two of them take the cake. Yes, the most creative roommates I ever had were two beautiful women I lived with at 707 W. MacKenzie in Phoenix when I was going to use an offensive term for vagina in my comic strip Honkytonk Sue and both of them said—"that's too offensive, why don't you use the term 'Woosie' instead?" And, well, thank God, I listened to the voice of creative reason and here it is documented for all time from a sketchbook I just found in the garage:

Even better, one of those roommates became my girlfriend.

And the other creative roommate, Carole Compton Glenn, became my business manager at True West magazine. How damn lucky can one Kingman yahoo get? Not sure how, but I am eternally thankful for the good fortune.

Together they saved True West magazine more than once.
