This man [John Callahan] knew how to choose life! Thanks for the lead. I ended up watching a few of his utube videos. Laughter is the best "truth" medicine....
Love to both of you!

I just loved him, George. He wrote his "autobiography"----"Don't Worry, He Won't Get far on Foot", which I thoroughly enjoyed, along with his hilarious cartoons. Thank you--I would have missed this completely.

Dear George and Anita,

What a joy it is to receive your emails. I love and reflect on what you write.

George, enjoyed the videos of John Callahan. I enjoyed Jim Borgman cartoons for many years until he retired three years ago. I miss reading them in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Actually those political cartoons justified my daily subscription fee. He courageously published left-wing comments in a notoriously right-wing city. He was the recipient of a Nobel prize. Probably there is some of his work on the internet if you want to find it. Give my regards to Anita.

Hello George

I was not familiar with the cartoons of Callahan. After visiting the website you recommended and the short documentary on utube, I find that I am ambivalent about his work. His self-deprecating tone makes me feel uncomfortable, but at the same time, I applaud his freedom of speech and similarity to another Irish humorist/satirist, Jonathan Swift.
Thanks for shedding light on this interesting artist's life.
Love to you and Anita

I really enjoyed the cartoons and the song -- and I'd never heard of this cartoonist.

Summer is just about over -- and not too soon with this heat, humidity and lack of rain. But -- we could be in Pakistan.
