Down to Earth

The drawing of "Stand-Up Comedian" is my own doing. When one plays a night club, the customers are inclined to ask you a number of questions and one of the more frequently asked is: "How do you like our town?" I've found in cities and towns everywhere- there are "hip" people and "squares!" My drawing represents the comic: what is in front of him- around him- and what he's thinking about. The circles and the squares are his audience- some bright- some square. The stand-up mic, his body and the ends of his fingers, which take on the appearance of frayed wires, are his nerves! It's all there- study it and forget it!
