I love pre computer old school graphic design. Wildly inefficient compared to what you can do with photoshop, but mechanical, methodical and intentional.
Ur mom is a smoke show!
Our mom Kate
I see Humphrey b bear! Is she an Aussie that worked for the New Yorker? Or an American that loved our Humphrey? 😆
Was there many fat people back in the 70s ?
Kate is a boss!

Your mom sounds amazing. I want her jeans.
Perfect fitting jeans!!
Spend as much time with her as you can. My mum turns 90 next week.
Looks like a promo shot for a TV show about a young, idealistic woman that’s ready to take on the world. Mary Tyler Moore vibes. This picture is great. Thanks for posting.
Cartoonist for the New Yorker? That’s a big deal! Please share a cartoon or two?

Cool drafting board
Cool lamp
Cool Kowa Super66 camera

I wonder if she knew she was living the good old times.

Looks like a 1969 Mercury Cougar XRY in the background. Could be wrong.
Great pic. Started high school that year. The fashion was real.
Ugh now I wanna rewatch Mad Men…again
Was her boss named Charlie?

Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space…….
That is a great, great photo.
I started in the ad business about 10 years after your photo was taken (just before computers took over) and it really takes me back.
Thank you for posting it.
If this is 1976, I pity her for the kinds of come-ons and pick-up lines she’d have to hear from hopeful dudes every single day.
Wow she looks good for 70
I love how the sub is really just “skinny chicks have always been cool” and”…
Fucking sugar in everything is killing us.
She looks amazing for 70:)
Where did we go wrong? I wonder if we can pinpoint the series of events that led to the hellscape we are living in now
She looks like Olivia Wilde. I love it!
