Ignoring everything else that is going on around him, Marshall Chess leans in even closer to Mick and says, "I can send you a test pressing by air, and you can send me back a dub."

"By hand," Mick says.

"By air and hand," Marshall tells him. "And you send me back a dub."

"You'll send me one too," Charlie suddenly call out.

A little surprised, Marshall says, “We will, Charlie.”

Smiling, Charlie says, "Just addin' to the bravado.”

"Will you do it that way, Mick?" Marshall implores. "Will you?"

In a voice made far louder by the fact that he is now in England, Bobby Keys says, "Ah'm gonna burn down this goddamn hotel if ah don't find mah suitcase. Goddamn, ah'll throw Charlie Watts out a window!”

It was sex. If you had ever seen Muddy then, the effect he had on the women! Because blues has always been a women's market. On Saturday night they'd line up ten deep.

Promo photos found in Marvel Age issue 130 (November 1993). Three very cool people hanging out in that top picture. If anybody has other pictures of cartoonists hanging out with rappers, send them my way (I've already seen the one with Rob Liefeld and Eazy-E, though).
