Many a genius has been slow of growth. Oaks that flourish for a thousand years do not spring up into beauty like a reed. ↗

That was in the days when everyone rode a bicycle, and the journal had a circulation of over one hundred and twenty-five thousand weekly, so my verses and illustrations became known to a fairly large public. ↗
