In 1952 she moved to Western Neon, a small local outfit, where, in 1959, salesman Ted Rogich, the father of political consultant Sig Rogich , got the idea to propose a welcome sign for the highway from Los Angeles.

It also gave Simplicissimus its first characteristic style and individual artistic merit. He had quite an impact on the magazine, especially for someone who only worked there for a limited time (I know 9 years is a long time, but in comparison Eduard
