This Week’s Cover
- Artist George Hughes used to think he would really be a big shot when the day came that he could climb into the chair and tell the barber, “I’ll have the works.” That’s an idea common to boys—and it prevails into manhood too. In fact, you find it among many big shots who don’t have much left of a barber to work on. At any rate, it’s a fine, expansive feeling, especially if you are young, and Hughes decided to paint a cover about it. For the boy he recruited young Randall Mull, of Arlington, Vermont; for the manicurist he borrowed Artist Mead Schaeffer’s daughter, Lee. The barber is Bob Shuffelton, who runs a shop in Arlington. This had better be a good portrait of Shuffelton; he cuts Hughes’ hair and is in position to avenge any injuries.
