Re: In Search of the Humourous Archivist
I have two cartoons taped to my desk which I always thought reflected my
work.
The first is Shoe - which shows him seated at his desk, piled high with
papers. He's thinking to himself, "People say I'm a pack rat. They may
be right. But I prefer the term 'Archivist'." This appeared in the
Houston Chronicle on December 16, 1995.
The other, Family Circus, shows Grandma in the attic kneeling next to a
trunk looking through the pictures and papers. Billy says to Jeffy,
"It's not a treasure chest. It's just a bunch of Grandma's old pictures
and letters." This one appeared in the Houston Chronicle on April 24,
1995.
