Hailing from the minor town of Accident, Maryland, Cartwright joined the Navy to get away from the Mid-Western Blues. After a brief, but intense military career, he quits, and moves to New York to get on with his life. Bright lights, big city.

It is, oh how it is......but in a manner Cartwright never fathomed.
