Goodenough Gismo

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."

Working on this, a surprising lot of work. realpc will be pleased to see that I've ventured to smuggle Rupert Sheldrake into enemy territory.

How interesting that hyenas are related to cats rather than dogs. Really, I always thought someone just took all the rejected unattractive leftover features of various animals and hobbled them together to get hyenas.

They have disgusting table manners too.
