Doug's family Christmas was December 21st, and while the turkey was roasting, I got out family photo albums. In a 1991 album I found photos from Doug and his late wife's trip to England. While there, Doug visited fellow Playboy cartoonist Francis Wilford-Smith and his wife Pamela; they lived in a lovely thatched roof home on the border of England and Wales.
As a cartoonist, Francis Wilford-Smith used the pseudonym Smilby, a contraction of his surname and his wife Pamela's maiden name. In addition to providing cartoons for Playboy, he was a producer and archivist of blues music.
