After a failed tennis career, Randy Walker became a journalist and did political cartoons for small weekly newspapers in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, including the rag that once staffed Mark Twain. Eventually, Walker got in the habit of using the press cameras to take subversive pictures of Costco sample ladies or Elks Club Republicans. He also worked in a genetics lab for the University of California, Riverside, sequencing the DNA of marsupials from New Guinea. Couldn’t hold down that gig, either. As a result, he tried his hand at staple pulling, letterman’s jacket design and dishwashing in Scotland…but none of it would take. Got to the point where reading poetry in jail sounded pretty good, so he set out to steal a book on ethics from a bookstore. Of course, this plan, like so many earlier plans of his, never saw the light of day. Oh, and he was on a children’s game show called FUN HOUSE when he was eleven.
