Doug and I couldn't help but admire Tess's costume, which was designed and executed by blacksmith Bill Fedun, proprietor of the South Tower Armouring Guild in Metcalfe, Ontario.
I should also point out that in all fairness, that this design is not mine, but rather that it is designed by the well known artist, Clyde Caldwell, and are made by me under licence. My designs are nice, but his are, well, spectacular. I just hammer his (and for that matter, any body's visions) into steel.
Doug has been a cartoonist for Playboy magazine since 1964.
For nearly 20 years, starting in the mid-60's, his "Doug Sneyd" and "Scoops" news cartoons appeared daily in newspapers across North America. Sneyd's talent has also led him into cinema: in 1993, he wrote, produced and directed "Black-eyed Susan," an educational movie-drama about spousal abuse, for the Ontario government. He was a founding member of the Canadian Society of Book Illustrators and has been a member of the National Cartoonists' Society and the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. Thirty of his full-page color Playboy cartoons are among the 235 Sneyd works included in the National Archives of Canada in Ottawa.
Sneyd was born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, but spent much of his professional career in Toronto. In 1969 he moved his family north to Orillia made famous as the mythical "Mariposa" by humorist Stephen Leacock. He works on the third floor of his home-studio overlooking beautiful Lake Couchiching and spends his winters on the Gulf Coast in Orange Beach, Alabama.

Both Doug and Heidi are very much a class act. Thanks for the smiles!
