”How much do you need — to live?,” Chuck asked.
So I said, “Well, at least ninety dollars a week (Which was ridiculous. It was just a figure that jumped into my head, it was way too low).”
Chuck said, “All right, I’ll put you on a ninety dollar a week ‘draw’.”
A ‘draw’ was a payment against income I was supposed to generate for the studio. Except I didn’t generate any income! So I’m going deeper and deeper in the hole. And Chuck never, ever said, “Where’s the money… when are you gonna pay me” … nothing like that. At all. There’s gotta be a heaven for Chuck.”
Murray Tinkleman, illustrator, on Chuck Cooper, “The Boss” of Cooper studios.
