A little wine humor courtesy of Bob Johnson
It’s got to be said that while wine folks are wonderful people, in general (and frequently in specific), they often seem to lack a sense of humor about themselves. I don’t know whether you’ve noticed that.
But way back in the day, a guy named Bob Johnson created some of the wackiest wine cartoons ever as covers for Mike Lynch’s old San Francisco Pacific Wine Co.’s trade catalogs. These started in 1980 and continued through 1996. But they’re just as funny as ever, and now many of them are available for enjoying on Behance.
These days Johnson is busy running his gallery in Healdsburg, Calif., (where signed editions of some of the posters are available to purchase) and paying the bills with an extensive trade in wine label art.
Have fun, but don’t blame us if you end up laughing so hard your Screaming Eagle starts coming out your nose.
