Oh, trust me on this one:  back in the day, he ran about in a Dire Bear
skin from a beast he had wrestled down in person, and Daniel Boone take
note!  He chiseled out the scene on a slab of stone and then painted it on
the wall of a nearby cave.  I believe that he was touring the southern
regions of France at the time.  In any event, these cave paintings were
discovered around 1890, and Ted has been denying authorship thereafer for
reasons which escape reason.  

I think Ted is just too shy to accept credit for his early contributions to
representational art.  He should stand up and claim his heritage.  After
all, how many of us can claim to have pulled KP at the Last Supper or to
have posted road guard when King Arthur went off to beat those leather hose
off the Saxons at Mount Badon?  

Ted is an international treasure and I really fail to see why Katie Couric
doesn't interview him about his experiences during the late Paleolithic
Era.  He has much to reveal.
