The Last Laugh

I think it was the late George Plimpton who said you can tell everything you needed to know about somebody by the favorite cartoon they keep magnetized to their refrigerator. Well I've had three for the past year or two that will now be moving on and here they are:

From Gahan Wilson at The New Yorker: A fortune teller looking into a large crystal ball for a bright young thing says: "You will make the same foolish mistakes you have made before, not only once but many, many times again."

From Matthew Diffee at The New Yorker: Just beyond a castle moat, three mounted knights in armor meet up with their commander, swords high above their horses with a roast beef and a head of broccoli speared on them say: "We were so tired by the time we got there, all we wanted to do was raid their pantry."

William Hamilton at The New Yorker: A man leaning over the bar says to the bartender: "I'm nothing and yet I'm all I can think about."

They joined a very old Peanuts strip of Charlie Brown's sister saying to him from behind his beanbag chair-- in three cells: "I've decided to try to be a better person; but not right away, of course; maybe a few days from now."
