Did Captain America actually illustrate his own comics at some point?

Question

_{Part of my long-running series of calling out TV Tropes.}

The TV Tropes page Recursive Canon says this:

At various times, Captain America has been the artist for the in-universe Captain America comics. No, really.

Is this true? Has the 616 universe version of Steve Rogers ever been shown illustrating his own, or anyone else's comics?

Your series complements mine of calling out Wikipedia (here and here). — Praxis, Jul 24 '16 at 18:18
Skeptics are an endangered resource in a world that desperately needs them. And I mean real skeptics - people who ask the questions because they're interested in the truth, not people who ask the questions because they want to prove their enemy wrong. It's the most valuable thing sites like StackExchange bring to the world. — corsiKa, Jul 25 '16 at 15:20

Yes, in Captain America #311, Steve Rogers quits working as an advertising exec (his secret identity) and goes to work for Marvel. They put him to work illustrating Captain America comics.

If you had told me there was a property that was further up its own back end than Leisure Suit Larry 3 this morning, I wouldn't have believed you. – GGMG-he-him Jul 24 '16 at 18:55

So did Steve Rogers draw this page? – Anton Sherwood Jul 24 '16 at 23:47

No. At this time Steve Rogers was temporarily illustrating the in-universe Captain Rogers magazine. – Vince O'Sullivan Jul 25 '16 at 11:26
And this issue of the in-universe magazine has him illustrating Captain America #311. It's the kinda thing that gives the Watcher a headache. – candied_orange Jul 25 '16 at 18:15
This is very meta. – Jul 25 '16 at 18:42
Wait, Captain America had a secret identity? – DCShannon Jul 25 '16 at 23:13
@DCShannon - Yup. And a pretty lame one at that. – Valorum Jul 25 '16 at 23:27
Could someone tell me why this question was downvoted? I fail to understand a reason for it. – KyloRen Oct 09 '16 at 00:44
@KyloRen - Because someone is going around downvoting my answers and probably decided to downvote the question too, to try to seem even-handed. – Valorum Oct 09 '16 at 00:55
Whoops I meant to also say the answer, it is a great answer that I had absolutely no clue Steve Rogers did this. There has to be something for serial downvoting correct? – KyloRen Oct 09 '16 at 00:57
@KyloRen - The serial downvoting algorithm detects multiple downvotes at the same time. This is rather more subtle, one or two downvotes per day. Death by a thousand cuts. – Valorum Oct 09 '16 at 01:00
A moderator needs to do something, it skews the results and is bad for the forum. – KyloRen Oct 09 '16 at 01:06
@KyloRen - I've mentioned it to a moderator. Nothing's happened. Next on my list is reporting it to a CM so that they can send me their incredibly patronising "downvotes are a normal part of SE life" pro-forma email. – Valorum Oct 09 '16 at 01:08
Ahh well, I suppose there is nothing more you can do. It is wrong though. – KyloRen Oct 09 '16 at 01:13
