messages from beyond


"What shall I do, whip him or send him to West Texas? I believe I send him to West Texas." (Mr. Mag)
"Tsch bibble I should worry" (Bill)
This vignette was found in the leaves of a hanging daily proverbs calendar from the year 1918. It seems to be the property of a great-granduncle who was killed in military service in WWI. I just found out about the existence of this departed relative and this is a very endearing glimpse of him (because I do love the comics, especially of one's teachers).
AND- he can't draw hands!!! haha.
