Among those persons most admired by Foxo were Knute Rockne, the legendary football coach at the University of Notre Dame, Jack Dempsey, world heavyweight boxing champion, and humorist Will Rogers. Among his favorite actors were James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Spencer Tracey, and George Raft. His favorite comediennes were Gracie Allen, wife and partner of George Burns, and Imogene Coca.
One of Foxo’s favorite sayings was “Never judge a man until you have walked in his shoes.” Another was “You can’t do a job well unless you take pride in it.” And another was “Never be satisfied.” After using that last expression on one occasion, he held up one of his finished cartoons and said to me, “Do you think I’m satisfied with this?” He was, of course, implying that he was not." He considered modern art “as an excuse for no talent.” {Taken from my book, “Whistling Down the Halls, The Times and Cartoons of America’s Original Pantomime Comic Strip Artist.”)
