Goodenough Gismo

  • Gismo39
    This is the classic children's book, Goodenough Gismo, by Richmond I. Kelsey, published in 1948. Nearly unavailable in libraries and the collector's market, it is posted here with love as an "orphan work" so that it may be seen and appreciated -- and perhaps even republished, as it deserves to be. After you read this book, it won't surprise you to learn that Richmond Irwin Kelsey (1905-1987) was an accomplished artist, or that as Dick Kelsey, he was one of the great Disney art directors, breaking your heart with "Pinocchio," "Dumbo," and "Bambi."

You know what they say about married couples starting to look alike after many years of marriage? The Serpenthead was tired of being the ugly one.

I do not get the whole facelift thing at all. We're human. We age. Those are facts of life. Getting our faces shrink-wrapped doesn't alter a thing.

What I can't get over is that people would rather look like somebody else, or nobody at all, than to look like themselves, aged, cured and seasoned. It's ill!

Good comments, all. I don't watch much TV, so don't have a basis for comparison on Matalin. But I agree on the silliness of all this age-based bodily modification.

Great line!

Apparently this guy (Kancho Hatsuo Royama, our friend) says that true martial arts begin at 50, when you can no longer fall back on crude physical strength and you have to draw on your spirit.
