[RKDinOKC]

For a couple few years I was the art director for a monthly publication for business, primary and secondary education, and in both English and Spanish. Usually spent the evening of deadline waiting for the editors to finish so I could clean up the layouts. Spent my time editing the photo files adding myself inconspicuously to the photos. It got to be where I looked forward to it (pun intended).

Did the first edit in the main picture in the first issue. It was a B/W photo of Edison and his Pioneers standing in front of a brick factory looking building. I added myself behind them looking out a window of the factory. If it wasn't related to the content I put myself flying planes, driving cars, etc. Also put a relief of my face in tree bark, clouds, and even the Andes mountains on a map. One of my favorites was a picture of a light bulb. The GE logo was at an angle on the top of the bulb. I changed it to RKD. Nobody ever found that one.

It became a "Where is Richard" game with those involved in the publication. But that didn't start until a full year of it being my private joke. I did good because nobody actually noticed until I pointed it out.

There was also a famous quote on every page. Of those quotes there was always a quote by "Mom." Only the editor knew that I was Mom. "Timothy, quit picking on your sister." —Mom. What made them funny was most of the time the Mom quotes had nothing to do with subject of the publication like all of the other quotes did.
