There was a comedy caper movie in the 60's whose title started with the same words. It was entertaining, zany and featured many great comedians. We actually had a surfeit of comedians in my youth and I miss them dearly. Now things are even crazier, much less entertaining and in no way comedic. Oh well. This is a 6 by 4.5 inches gel pen with color pencil drawing on medium bond acid-free paper. If Original Jones Art wants a good belly laugh he looks to the past here in northwest Austin, Texas.

I would hardly be able to superimpose half of my face on the other. Picasso was the ace here. Glad I was able to get through this fine morning! Hope your Thurdsay morn will be no worse, Charles:))

Artist Reply: Well, it's Thursday afternoon now, so I guess I survived as well, Nikolay. Pablo gets a lot of credit and a lot of blame but, personally, I think he'd be disgusted, surprised, dismayed---the whole gamut of emotions--with what the world (the art one included) has devolved into. Hope that lovely family of yours is doing well. :)

everyone is mad in a different way, sometimes I feel nobody is madder than i

Artist Reply: Knowing your work as I do, I'd say your level of 'madness' aligns more closely with my own, Mr. Wu. That said, I hope you are enjoying your day, 4th or not. :)

Artist Reply: Yes, Peter. Is it planet Earth or one over-sized bedlam? Hope all is going great with you. :)

YOU ARE SO RIGHT CHARLES. THATS WHY I HAVE AND WATCH OLD MOVIES AND GREAT OLD COMEDIES. DID YOU EVER WATCH VICTOR BORGIE (SP) ? FANTASTIC COMEDY WORK.

Artist Reply: Yes, I remember Victor Borge. He was usually sitting at a piano in his skits. So many wonderful variety shows back in the day. :)

I remember that movie ... star studded and madcap ! No films like that today for sure. Nice fresh look drawing ! Hope all good your way as we roll into the weekend : )

Artist Reply: Who knew Spencer Tracy was good at comedy? Yeah, those were the days. Ethel Merman was a hoot also. :)
