Summary: 

[ hail to thee, oh glorious line-eater ]

I recall an anecdote many years ago, of a conversation between
Heinlein and well-known Los Angeles fan, Bjo Trimble.  Among
other things, Bjo is an SF and fantasy artist of great talent
and diversity.  In a discussion of whether stories reflect the
specific views of their author, Heinlein is said to have remarked,

"Bjo ... do people accuse you of being the things that you draw?"
