Apparently, he didn’t see it as his place to stay and fight alongside the men. Read ‘copywriter’ for Lord Cardigan and ‘art director’ for the men. Rachel,

For a while in the late 80s, long copy BECAME the answer. So, from cars to shoes to banks and fashion, writers with a lot of stamina just did an "ariston" - "and on and on" "and on and on" they wrote. Well writ? Yes. Would I buy the product? No flipping way. Hallo Dave

even “joint work” as you asked. As Groucho
said once “Are you going to believe me or your

The link is circulating on Twitter. It’s made by Julian Koenig’s daughter and concerns his disputes over the authorship of your (joint?) work. On the other hand you may be bored with the whole thing. My apologies for sending it if you are. Dave Trott" This is his reply: "Dear Dave, Thanks for the email. Koenig is embittered because I left PKL because I was unhappy, and then they went kaput. What can I tell ya? George" Hi Ciaran,
I heard that programme and emailed it to George Lois as follows:

“Hi George,
You may already have heard this radio programme.
The link is circulating on Twitter.
It’s made by Julian Koenig’s daughter and concerns his disputes over the authorship of your (joint?) work.
On the other hand you may be bored with the whole thing.
My apologies for sending it if you are.

This is his reply:

“Dear Dave,
Thanks for the email.
Koenig is embittered because I left PKL because I was unhappy, and then they went kaput.
What can I tell ya?
George”

But, did he do it? Interesting piece from This American Life (a terrific radio program over here), check it out here: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=383 Recorded by Julian Koenig's daughter, with comments from Carl Fischer, Fred Papert, Ron Holland, all seminal characters from the sixties. Certainly George L. wasn't absent the day they were handing out egos. Amazing art director, but it's possible that his memory might be suffering from overload. Ciaran Dave,
