Cartoon of the day

Cartoon of the month

This is one of my favorite recent cartoons off my drawing board . . . having hired my bit of laborers over the years, you would be surprised of what people do when you guess or estimate how intelligent someone is by just looking at them and not really interviewing them like you should . . .

Just because a person looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it does not mean it is a duck . . . Oh-h, did I find out . . . people who couldn't read the little tick mark measurements on a  yardstick . . . just for starters . . . the stories from my sign shop would have made a great reality show . . . maybe in my memoir book I'll tell the rest of the story . . . and countless others that will guarantee to amuse and educate you . . .

 " - - - Manufacture is intelligible, but trivial: Creation is great, and cannot be understood.  Thus if the debater and Demonstrator, whom we may rank as the lowest of true thinkers, knows what he has done, and how he did it, the Artist, whom we rank as the highest, knows not; must speak of inspiration, and in one or the other dialect, calls his work the gift of a divinity. "

" No matter what has happened, always behave as if nothing has happened. "

 - ARNOLD BENNETT


This reminds me of the legendary UCLA basketball coach, Bill Wooden.  This classic sentence, I believe could have easily been penned by Mr. Wooden.

Years ago I remember seeing a TV interview of one of his great centers, Dave Meyers. Dave was replying to a question by the interviewer of how the team, almost to the last man was ALWAYS cool and calm and no matter how dire the circumstances were, the poise you saw was so admirable, almost like you were watching a movie . . . and then, just like a movie, they would make that last second steal or shot that won the game . . . and the team showed just a little enthusiasm when they would squeak by . . it was as if they KNEW what the ending was going to be.

This phenomena happened because The coach had drilled it into the player's brain, that no matter how the game ended, he told the team that when they trotted off the court, NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL IF UCLA WON OR IF THEY LOST by their actions or the expression on their faces !

Of course it was hard to do, but man, that's what I call classic poise . . . if you can do it.
