      I don’t have skills for graphic arts so it’s just scan, print, cut, paste (Elmer’s not computer). Collage things are fun to assemble adding my own touch here and there.

      Yes. I think his abstractions and twists , however, are beyond the comprehension of many young school age children for whom it is recommended reading(at least in my experience as a high school teacher for whom the text is too sophisticated as well). Just as much as the humor of the cartoon series “The Simpsons” requires an experienced adult mind to comprehend.

    And as you have expertly depicted, change generally comes gradually, not all at once. But can you please hurry? Because, “I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date……”

      Alice
      I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle!

        When you start asking yourself WHERE in the world am I? That’s a great puzzle. Actually, finding your way home may be a greater puzzle.

      It takes a lot of imagination and originality to produce uncommon nonsense. Anyone can come up with regular nonsense. Unfortunately those that author true wisdom are accused of producing nonsense by the actual nonsense producers. In the current economy, however, most people are concerned with the issue of noncents.
