Hey.. how wonderful lil bean is! And you’re local to me! I’m on the Lifeline phones… buying books is so important… but wish we could channel lil bean to those callers so badly needing whimsy and love…

I love how you described L’il Bean as whimsy and love - that is exactly what I am hoping for when I draw, so lovely to know it makes it through to you! Thank you for being on the Lifeline phones and glad to meet you here, fun to have local connections through international platforms!

Love this. Spent about eight years playing the fool. Thanks for the reminder not to forsake it.

I have spent most of my life being so serious and responsible, playing the fool is fairly new to me! I’d love to hear about your fooling - on your substack perhaps?

Sure! I will add a video glimmer of some fooling (juggling zucchini) in one of my next posts.

Sounds super! After all, what else can you do with excessively large and abundant zucchini?!?

What a timely find, the Leunig book! This post is great encouragement to Substackers. Sometimes we need reminding that the act of creativity itself is enough. 😌
