Ever since the sad news of Trina’s passing I find myself thinking of her. I wrote a bit in the previous post about the ‘olden’ days of the underground comix scene when we lived communally. I’ve pulled together fragments of scrap, sketches and photos from that era.
This was drawn jam session style by Trina, Leslie Cabarga and me. Circa 1975
Here is the artwork from another cartoon announcement—in this case the dual birthday party of Trina and Sharon Rudahl. (Drawn by Sharon, Trina, Leslie? and me).
Back then we shared a phone—a ‘land line’ in current vernacular. It was in the hallway near the stairs. If Trina answered a call that was for me she would jot down the message on a little note pad which would wind up adorned with her doodles and sketches.
A very youthful Larry in Trina’s room/studio. Behind me a small portion of Trina’s original art collection. Note: Trina’s nose protruding in the far lower right hand corner.

This curious photo was given to me by Michael T. Gilbert. It was taken in 1978 at the wedding of Al and Mary McAllister Gordon.
