I'd like to think it is no accident but that I am getting something out of the dozens of BAD drawings I do in between the couple of good drawings!!!

I read somewhere quite recently -- I wish I could remember where -- that the purpose of the vast majority of all the artwork we create is to be somewhat "bad", as preparation for the few top notch things we are fortunate enough to create once in a while along the way.
As far as preserving newsprint, it's full of acid so it will dissolve over time (sorry). However, to keep this drawing in decent shape longer you might want to go to a good art supply store or very good framer and ask about some adhesive to attach it to a mat board so that when it starts to fall apart it won't literally "fall apart".
I can definitely see the feeling of Rubens' "head of a boy" in this. I thought of it too, before you mentioned it.
