But I'm One of Your Biggest Fans, 1979

In the late 1970s, during his years out of the public eye, John Lennon spent an increasing amount of time drawing the world he saw around him. Lennon was a keen social observer and his sophisticated line drawings from this period reflect his penchant for witty commentary. He was a regular presence in his Upper West Side neighborhood and he often had encounters with the most unlikely fans. In “But I’m One Of Your Biggest Fans“, he is stopped by a woman who expresses this sentiment, while walking her dog. In the background another woman views John from the corner of her eye.
