True story: He made my birth announcement card in 1965.

My dad knew him and asked him to do it. We still have a few copies floating around my folks' house.

I guess I'm a born Patriot!

Unfortunately, Pat wasn't on my birth announcement, but he did a great job on it nonetheless.

42 years later, wherever he is, I hope he knows that it is much cherished.

He was a cartoonist...like Larry Johnson...papers USED to have cartoonists that told sports headlines much the same way political cartoonists did...LJ is in that dying tradition..Growing up I LOVED how the sports pages were...now..it's lacking a great deal of nuance...maybe some better writers..more stats..but
Bissel i believe is still alive...and in his early 80s..Pat Patriot was BIG in the early days of the Boston Patiots..the AFL one..and MANY of those teams were quite good...with the move to Foxboro..a new stadium..a new name..Pat Patriot retired..
