My sketchy attempt at Monsieur Chuck Jones. Gotta love the staple bowtie!
I spent my bday down at Wpg Beach last week - how better to spend it than by the lake?? One of the lovely things I did, besides lotsa swimming, eating, and air guitar, was reading. Lotsa reading. Reading these days is gravely underrated!!
So as per my Chuck Jones up there, I finally finished his animated autobiography, and it was SUCH a great read! Perhaps it had a lot to do with my intense admiration for such a man as this, and it may have also doubly interested me due to my animated studies... but I recommend it for any reader! His life was so interesting, and his writing style is of high regard.
There were so, so, sooooo many gems in this book I wish I could remember, but here's one that stands out. I agree whole-heartedly.
"You must remember always that only man, of all creatures, can blush, or needs to; that only man can laugh, or needs to; and that if you are in that trade of helping others to laugh and to survive by laughter, then you are privileged indeed." ~CJ
