Show SURELY HARD MAN TO PLEASE Artist Did His Best, but Somehow Managing Editor Would Not Be Satisfied. An artist was drawing a cartoon wherein t;he flag of our nation played a large part. He drew the flag, first time, with five stars in the blue field and took it to the managing editor, who promptly let out a yelp. "Wadye think this country it," said the managing editor, "a trust?" "What's the trouble?" asked the artist. art-ist. "Trouble." bellowed pe managing editor, "why, we need more stars, stars, stars!" So the artist brought the picture back and this time he had 117 stars in it by actual count. The managing editor felt his head and choked slightly. "What do you think you're drawing?" draw-ing?" he asked at last. "You're the hardest man to please I ever met in my life." said the artist indignantly; "first it's too few and then it's too many. How many stars do you want, anyway?" |
