E' scomparso il grandissimo umorista e illustratore ceco Adolf Born, un caro vecchio amico. Una perdita veramente dolorosa, perché ci conoscevamo dal Salone di Bordighera del '75 e lo considero uno degli autori più abili e geniali di sempre.
Ciao Adolf.
Lo ricordo con una foto scattata nel suo studio di Praga nel 1986, con lui (e i suoi inconfondibili baffi bianchi), Lucio Trojano e il Golem in persona.
