In 1990 cartoonist Gary Blehm, the Penman, creator of PENMEN wore his beret to a poster signing at a frame shop in the mall. Artist, Kevin Cordtz was also there and he drew Gary’s caricature. The beret would become synonymous with his art until it became a trademark schtick as the PENMEN syndicated comic strip was in fact sequential pantomime.
