As Any Fule Kno ...

... or Hello Clouds - Hello Sky.

It Comes to us All

Yet another Curse of The Oldie (which of course is really statistics rather than anything genuinely supernatural) with the passing of Ronald Searle. Of course the TV news will illustrate the sad news with St. Trinian's in all its guises and ignore the great Masterpiece that is Molesworth. As the author of the piece linked behind the picture says, Molesworth is unfilmable - not least because any mention of Molesworth 2 would have most of the audience wondering when the first film came out. The Gerunds will be distraught tonight I imagine.

There is a more serious side to Ronald Searle in that he survived the worst that humans can throw at fellow humans. See this collection of drawings including some of his time as a POW on the Burma Railway.
