Look to the Cartoonists

It's been kind of a rough week here at Lake Woebegon — troubles and tough situations for family and friends.

When you're feeling down and blue, look to the cartoonists for wisdom:

Robert Crumb — Singin' in the Bathtub — 1996

I'm sorry that you're not having a good week, Thom.; December 1, 2011 at 5:30 PM

Thomas Haller Buchanan said...: Thanks guys, it's just been one of those weeks, not just for me, but like I say—family and friends. Worrying about other people is a trouble of its own.

Things are bound to get better—it's a good world!; December 2, 2011 at 9:51 AM

Thank you for thinking of me, and everyone else having rough times. I love this little cartoon, and water and song has a way of washing away our troubles!; December 3, 2011 at 9:50 AM
Thomas Haller Buchanan said...: Annie, you are indeed one of those I was thinking of. I hope you're singing today.; December 3, 2011 at 9:56 AM
