Who put that there?
Speaking as one who unfailingly trips over the only stone in the field, I know just how that poor fellow feels - hurt, resigned, and stupid.
Another one I've kept for years, though it's not as yellowed as the other two (Snow Humour, First Aid Post).
First Aid Post
Ian Gammidge, 1960s (?)
Another one in the same vein (see Snow Humour), but with a subtle difference. Isn't Life just like that?
This one had to be folded over to fit in my wallet, and then sat on for 40 years, to produce the artistically creased effect.
Snow humour
Chas Addams, 1940
I've been sitting on this for 40 years and more. I've kept a cutting of this cartoon in my wallet, in my back pocket, ever since I first came across it. It's now a yellowing, faded, nibbled shred of paper. Every now and then it falls out, and I remember it, and wonder, and smile.
