American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Howard Hughes had an amazing obsession with perfection.

When he was filming "Hell's Angels", he wanted to find perfect clouds as a reference for the speed of the plane in the film.

He found the president of the University of California, Houston, and hired him with a high salary, and it took him eight months to wait for the perfect cloud in his mind.

So, after hearing this, people traveled to Greenland in order to photograph icebergs.

Colin was not surprised at all.

Paranoid, crazy, and maverick, this is Howard Hughes.

"When do you leave?"

"It still takes about two weeks to prepare, the crew needs to be arranged, and the most important thing is the ship to Greenland. I need to make the journey as comfortable as possible and convince the captain to go according to my scheduled itinerary."

After taking a sip of the white wine in the glass, Hughes looked up at Colin in front of him and invited: "How about it, Colin, are you interested in going with me to see where the ship sank?"

Faced with Hughes's invitation, it would be a lie to say that you are not interested.

However, considering the long journey of the other party, especially if you also include the trip to Greenland and the filming process, ten days and a half are unavoidable. This is without counting the shooting time that Hughes may delay. After all, the other party has already explained it.

This trip was to photograph the perfect iceberg in his mind.

God knows what he meant by perfection.

Therefore, after much consideration, Colin still rejected Hughes' invitation.

He didn't have that much time to sail with the other party, especially since the serialization of "The Courier" needed to continue.

"Too bad, I was going to discuss ideas for a Titanic movie with you on the ship."

Hearing Colin's refusal, Hughes took a sip of wine with regret.

On the side, the waiter immediately stepped forward and poured another white wine into his empty wine glass.

While the two were chatting while eating, another waiter came to their table and whispered a few words to the waiter in charge of serving.

After hearing what his colleague said, the waiter dressed as a waiter nodded, came to Hughes and said in English with his unique Viennese Long Island accent: "Mr. Howard Hughes, Mr. Fiorello Henry LaGuardia" Coming."

"Are we here?"

Facing the waiter's reminder, Hughes took out his handkerchief and wiped the grease from his mouth, then turned to gesture to Colin in front of him.

"The person you are looking for is here."

As mentioned just now, the purpose of Colin's trip to Restaurant 21 was certainly not to drink or simply discuss some news about the ship line with Hughes.

In fact, when he learned that Hughes had come to New York, Colin had already asked him to help.

Hughes also readily agreed to Colin's request and facilitated this meeting.

In Restaurant No. 21, the two waited silently for a few minutes. The waiter came over with a short man in a neat suit.

"Howard Hughes, have you forgotten my identity and dare to invite me here?"

His eyes fell on the wine glass on the dining table. The man with obvious Italian features raised his eyebrows, glanced at Hughes, and said meaningfully.

"So, are you going to expose me, Mr. Congressman?"

Facing the man's 'threat', Hughes showed no fear on his face. He deliberately took a sip from the wine glass and cast a provocative look at him.

"..."

Just like that, they stared at each other for a few seconds.

The atmosphere between Hughes and the man seemed to have become a little tense. However, Colin who was on the side noticed the calm expression of the waiter. Obviously, the other party did not think it was a problem.

"Of course not."

Sure enough, the next second.

The man who originally had a serious face returned to his smile and shrugged at Hughes.

"You know, I've always been against Prohibition."

As he spoke, the man gestured to the waiter on the side, who cooperatively handed over the prepared wine glass.

After raising his glass and taking a sip of white wine, the man sat down in front of Colin and the others with a relaxed expression.

"The emergence of the law not only failed to achieve the expected results, but made various social problems more serious. Even we members of Congress need to hide secretly to drink. There is nothing worse than this in the world." matter?"

Don’t think that only the general public was affected by Prohibition. Even politicians also suffered from Prohibition. It has even happened before in Detroit that the police chief, mayor and congressman were arrested for drinking.

The man complained a few words and drank a few sips of white wine.

Only then did he bring the topic back on track. He looked at Hughes at the dining table and asked: "So, why are you looking for me this time, Hughes? I have already said that the military does not agree with your purchase of fighter jets. Require."

"You tell the military for me that I can give more money. Three times or five times is not a problem."

Faced with the rejection reported by the man, Hughes did not feel disappointed, but said calmly.

"Okay, then I'll try again."

Seeing this, the man said nothing more and just nodded and replied.

There was nothing he could do when he encountered such a paranoid guy who was not short of money.

"Actually, this meeting was not my idea."

However, just when the man thought that the matter was over, Hughes on the side suddenly explained and introduced Colin opposite to him: "Colin Luper, he is the one who wants to meet you this time."

No anti-theft

"Fiorello Henry LaGuardia, I think you should know him, then the next step is up to you."

After introducing each other at the table, Hughes did not stay for long. He picked up his wine and walked straight towards the ladies drinking at another table.

"Mr. LaGuardia, it's nice to meet you."

Withdrawing his eyes from Hughes' back, Colin nodded and greeted LaGuardia in front of him.

After hearing Hughes' introduction, LaGuardia's expression was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and said to Colin in front of him: "Me too, Mr. Colin Luper."

"So, what is the purpose of your meeting me?"

LaGuardia already had a few guesses about the reason why Colin wanted to see him.

As a congressman, he was no stranger to this, and people often met with him through various connections, hoping to help him do something.

LaGuardia agreed to some of these requests and rejected some.

"As far as I know, Mr. LaGuardia seems to be interested in running for the next mayor of New York City?"
