| ABOUT THE COVER |
This issue’s cover by Don Childers is a painting done in gouache, a type of watercolor on illustration board. He said he got the idea for the cover while visiting a farm where he lives in Colorado. While there, he watched a fellow milking a cow as a large tomcat looked on. The guy looked over his shoulder at Don and said, “He hangs around because, every once in a while I give him a shot in the face.” Don said he went home, substituted a woman for the man, added two more cats, and painted this cover for BHM and its readers.
