the unknown artist
I have been a cartoonist all of my life
drawing is what kept me in school
I could do my school work then draw the rest of the day
There was a lot of extra time back then
we finger-painted in kindergarten
I loved that!
the only paints we had at home was the metallic sliver
that held hard paints and one paint brush
you had to add water to each color
these were not vivid paints
I did not know I was an artist
until fifty years after I left home
I am so glad that I figured it out
because I love painting even more than cartooning.
