Penciled & Inked this a couple days ago to add to page one of ‘Happy Birthday, Gorda, the Gopher Tortoise’.
The main artwork didn’t fit the page with the dialogue and needed addition scrub habitat.
Scanned and adding it in now.

Swampy’s Florida Postcard Thursday: Fontainebleau & Eden Roc, Miami Beach.
![](https://i0.wp.com/swampysflorida.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/2021-0130-SwampysFlorida-Fontainebleu-copy.jpg?resize=500%2C364)
This unmailed postcard shows The Fontainebleu on the left and the Eden Roc on the right. The hotels had quite a rivalry back in the ’50s and still battle it out for customers today. Both hotels were designed by Morris Lapidus.
Today, both hotels have expanded to some degree since opening in the mid-’50s. The Fontainebleu, more specifically, has added a large condominium and remade the entire facility.|
This postcard is part of the Swampy’s Florida colelction.

This advertisement is from ‘”The Best in Cooking” in Melbourne, Florida’. The book has a collection of recipes of people from around the area and beyond. Most interesting are recipes from current, at the time, and former Florida political leaders. Included are recipes from the wives of former vice-president Spiro Agnew, former governor Claude Kirk and much more.
This cookbook is not available and very hard to find. Though, have seen it cross through EBay occasionally. This book is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.
