Connecticut artist Paul Calle created stamps for the U. S. Postal Service and was the principal staff artist for NASA during the Mercury and Apollo eras. Calle loved American history, especially the early days of the Old West. But in contrast to his more typical mountain man era scenes, Tagging Along depicts what might well be a modern cowboy riding to check things out, or maybe just riding to ride. ThereÕs no sense of urgency here. This ride might be a joyride after all. Two dogs Òtag alongÓ for the ride, eager for a run and for whatever action might come their way.
