Here’s my #Inktober #23 illustration: W.C. Fields & his kumquat farm & trouble!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Oct.24, 2020, under Cartooning, Illusration
Drawn live during the ‘Man in the Swamp Report’ a bit earlier today on my Swampy’s Florida page.
Kaminsky did a terrific job of including the short tale in a large story of trekking the US so Fields can retrieve his money from various banks as bad guys were stealing it just ahead of him. This book is part of a 24 book series. Each features a major celebrity in Hollywood that hire P.I., Toby Peters.
The watercolor version is $35
to the first who sends a request.
Later $50 on Etsy.

Book Review; ‘A Fatal Glass of Beer’ by Stuart M. Kaminsky
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Oct.24, 2020, under Books, Illusration
A Fatal Glass of Beer by Stuart M. Kaminsky
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I believe this chalks up to my favorite of the Peters tales. It does seem far fetched, except Fields lived a bit of a far fetched life and did deposit money in banks all over the place. Gets one to wonder just how the Fields family got all of that money from such a list of banks.
Kaminsky was often excellent at getting the voice of the celebrity starring in his books of Peters. Huge exception are his two Rockford Files books. Here, I can hear Fields voice throughout the book. The banter is terrific and full of Fileds well known outrageous storytelling. Peters is played down quite a bit here. Almost a co-star despite the book being in first person.
The story of why there is, essentially, a great chase is ridiculous as is the ending, but stilla great book.
About Florida: One of the stories Fields tells is of having a kumquat farm near Homosassa and that being ruined by alligators. The tale is told and sounds as Fields. i know no truth to the story. Extremely well done and thought out by Kaminsky, including using an actual Florida location and such location as kumquats are usually grown!
Bottom line: i recommend this book. 8 out of ten points.
