I've gotten both guys IP several times, it's definitely the Straw-Man.

Below, the left is the OP's pic, next to another Strawberry that I turned upside down. Notice the similar strokes at the beginning, middle and end. Also, the hash mark to signify crossing the "t" in Strawberry placed in the top loop of the "S". If anything, the OP's is a little more of a rushed IP signature, while the one on the right is a sit-down signing.

Next are both of those images turned rightside up, followed by an image of Vizquel's signature. Vizquel's "O" is always consistent and really doesn't look at all like the "D" in the OP's post when compared side by side. He finished his "O" on a downward stroke, which isn't the case in the OP's pic, upside down or not. There is also no break between the two big loops in his last name in this example or any other in my collection. Unless the pen jumped, he was pretty consistent in joining those loops to form his last name.





Strawberry did go to more rounded "D" in the 90s when he was with LA, though I don't have an example handy.
