Wallace Wood: Against the Grain, part 13 Unhappy with his 1950 stockroom job, Orlando soon was back at the drawing board, apparently with very little prodding from Woody. “One day Wally called and asked me to help him with a job he was late on. Reluctantly, I began helping him out a few hours a night. That turned into four or five hours a night, and at the end of the month, I was making $50 or $60 a week doing comics. I figured I might as well get rid of my stock job as it only paid $7.50 a week. I hated it anyway.”

Glenn and Alma moved out of the West 64th Street apartment, and in the summer of 1950, Tatjana packed up her belongings and departed the West 97th Street rooming house to live above the Wood studio. “We lived together before we got married,” said Tatjana. “His mother got a caretaker’s job out on City Island, and Glenn moved with his mother. So the apartment became empty, and I moved into the apartment with Wallace. We took a day off to get married on August 28, 1950. We just went down to the Municipal Building when he had a day off.”  ¶ 11:19 AM
