As indicated by the phone number leaking through the "Time Lab Remodel" scene on the passenger side of my truck, I couldn't quite let go of the idea of taking on the odd construction project. I had however gotten over looking at a truck covered with advertising. This wasn't the first panel to get the treatment.
It was the driver's side that got me started. I kinda day-dreamed how a big green Clark Gable-ish head I drew would look on the side of my truck, instead of the add it would cover.
Then came the sight gag gas cap, followed by the siding, window. and the time conscious flying mouse, who apparently startled the Blue Bird of Happiness.
It turned out that painting over the adds was a lot more fun than scraping them off with a razor blade.

This painting on the truck thing was a lot of fun. Pretty soon all the adds were covered. I even experimented with an ant cartoon on one door.
Then the motor died. I was already roughing out some drawings for the fenders, but the idea of painting a doomed truck didn't have much appeal.
