Mort Notkin

This is Mort Notkin. He is not someone that you may remember immediately, but he appears in the very first issue of Sandman (or the first chapter of Preludes And Nocturnes).

Mort is a dreamer who Dreams that he is at a party with a bunch of celebrities, including Elvis Presley, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe and a few others (some of whom have caused a lot of speculation, some investigation, and several arguments of regarding their identity). In Mort's Dream he is wearing a clown outfit because he thought it was a costume party, which it obviously wasn't.

This is one of my favorite paintings Scott has done so far.
