People of ask me how come I am so successful in everything I've ever done. Since being asked to leave school I have been successful at many varied jobs. So successful in some cases, that I've only needed to be there for a matter of hours. I tried to become an eminent psychologist one lunch break after reading a wonderful article in Take A Break magazine. The trouble with becoming a psychologist is that people always want to tell you their problems, and that's just not something that interests me.
So I gave that up and became a hairdresser instead. Trouble with hairdressing is that some people don't like your unique style on the top of their head! I thought to myself I have done all I can for the world of hairdressing, and resigned that very afternoon.
Now since I took up being a cartoonist, I think I have found the ideal career for myself. The main advantages is that it's very easy to do (if you're a creative genius, like myself), it can pay very very well (think - Charles Scwhepps!) and it leaves loads of free time for the cream of day time TV, or a trip to Argos.
Leonard, you are an inspiration to us all. Charles Schwepps would be immensely proud, may he rest in pease. I feel I have led a very 'safe' life in comparison to yours, but you give me hope that it is never too late, and that a career in animal husbandry may yet still be within reach, even at the nervous age of 67.
ReplyDeleteSteve, have you ever thought about turning your sad pathetic life story into a cartoon strip?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure literally dozens of people would want to read that, and if you were very lucky, perhaps a company that makes ladies sanitary items would want to use it in their advertising campaign and make you an instant millionaire!
It's just a thought.
It's a brilliant thought. By Jove, I'm going to do it. Thank you, Leonard. Should I use glitter pens?
