We continue our short series of art bearing the "ACES" imprint with ACES #4.
I'd like to see a higher-resolution scan of that one. Do you think one exists? And it would be interesting to know whether this drawing was an illustration for a story.
I can say with considerable confidence that there is no readily-available higher-resolution scan of either ACES #4 or #5 (to be seen later this week). I'm sure I did a reverse image search of billions of web pages and no match was found. It's surprising how often that happens. I suppose in some cases, the robot is unable to reach the particular page the image came from, perhaps due to password protection or because the page has been removed. I simply don't know where all of these images came from. Years ago, I extracted some things from the files of a defunct website, but that was quite difficult and I don't have time now to send out my own personal robot any more. Perhaps someone will post such a scan in the future.

Thanks for the plug. Anyone who didn't like it when Agent Burns seemed to be killed by his boss will be relieved to know that he is still alive. "Hey na ney na!" (A '60s girl-group called the Angels recorded a song called, "My Boyfriend's Back".)
The Angels - so that's who it was! You and Willjohn seem to know your 60s pop pretty well. My own tastes were really weird for a kid of that time.
I mostly listened to classical music, but I remember hearing a lot of
Burt Bacharach (who just passed away this past year), and as we got into the 70s I just started going further back in time, listening to (and playing) music of the 50s, 40s, and 30s.
Maybe I should cue up for us this video I found a while back of a bunch of girls
bending over in various movies to the tune of the old
Pepsi Girl Watchers Theme, which I remember hearing on the radio in the mid-60s. I have to watch out for the copyright on that, but perhaps we can see it in the Video Section some time or do a third installment of "A Tribute to Bending Over".
