About “Max”
Dan began writing humor for several Northwest papers back in the 1980s. Originally, he wrote as “Max Jacobson” in honor of his dad, Max Jacob Mayhew, and to protect the identity of his family who figures prominently in many of his columns. Alas, he soon discovered that there was a real Max Jacobson who wrote reviews of restaurants and nightspots for the LA Times. Since the only nightspot that Dan knew anything about was a 24 hour Arco near his house, and to avoid legal retaliation from The Times, he abandoned the pseudonym keeping “Max” as his persona. At right is a portrait of the artist as a small child.
