Celebrating my friend, Jerry Walters,
and his extrordinary caricatures in my "Down On the Farm!" series. You can enjoy the drawing of "Old Thornberry" found within Jerry's several books. And others, like a favorite "farmer" posting below, which I featured in my introduction of Jerry to Union Suit Fans back on September 25, 2019. This is the eleventh entry for my warm winter underwear series, Down On the Farm...
Hey, Union Suit Fans!
For several months now I have been enjoying Jerry's books. He is an exceptional storyteller and illustrator. With his permission, I am featuring some of my favorite characters from those books of his. From his website, Jerry says, "Just love to do fun silly stories." I think you'll agree. Here are a few book excerpts...
From the Book, Bud. Farmer Fred wades into the mud to grab his prized pig so he can take him to the county fair. In the process, Fred looses his clothes but, oh well, he proceeds to the fair in his union suit anyway:
He isn't going to let a little thing like attending the festivities in his long underwear stand in his way of a good time!

I'm sure you'd love to check out these stories in more detail and to see other of Jerry's books. So go to: www.blurb.com
and type in "The Legend of Thunder Cow." Buy a couple books and enjoy.
Jerry knows, what many of us experience, union suits are warm and comfortable and this type of long underwear is worn by many of us for a good portion of the year. But, possibly even more important for Union Suit Fans, is the fact that Jerry knows one-piece long johns with the escape hatch in the rear are fun to wear, share and draw!
and type in "The Legend of Thunder Cow." Buy a couple books and enjoy.
So, welcome back my good friend, Jerry, and continue to enjoy my series of Down On the Farm....Chris
