Quoted from PhilGreg:Holy moly. Never realized he had done that many.
he DID keep himself occupied, didn't he?
Quoted from AlexF:I wonder if he was still working doing commercial art after his last pinball games? He would only have been 50 in 1980.
Hard to imagine an artist could afford to retire that early.
you would think so... i can't imagine gottlieb paid him enough to build that large of a nest egg by 50... 
i showed swmbo the pics of comics above and asked her "what artist?", and she immediately popped out "gordon morison"... so his work is immediately recognizable to both pinball and comic collectors...
interestingly enough, she also mentioned that now she knows why some machines look vaguely familiar to her, even though she never played a pinball machine in her entire life until 18 months ago... so his pin art was definitely a primitive version of what was to come...
pretty cool...
