The mud loves me! What's wrong with being a part of nature?
I walk through the muddy field- listening to the birds- watching the drifting clouds-and the falling petals. Wondering until I'm exhausted. I lay down- and the mud enfolds me as if it wants to keep me there. The mud loves me! What's wrong with being a part of nature?

Seven daughters and a baby brother keep George Smith busy
Ellen -Virginia - Katherine - Lorraine - Carol Ann - Patricia - Christine - and a baby brother keep the pen of artist George Smith busy.

Because Smith had just left art school and started a career as a cartoonist, it seemed quite logical that the Army classified him as a draftsman when he enlisted. But when he sent in a diagram of lubrication points on a G.I. truck, everyone thought it was funny. He became chief artist of the 58th Signal Battalion with a studio on half the islands in the Pacific.
Among other things, he drew a cartoon a day, caricaturing anyone who was vulnerable, all this with the commander's backing.
After the Army, Smith went back to cartooning and raising a family and reports that both are coming along fine. He sold his first cartoon to the Saturday Evening Post and has been a fairly regular contributor ever since.
Family-wise, his seven daughters and son speak for themselves and probably earn their support by providing ideas.
Getting ideas is the real mystery of cartooning, Mr. Smith says he enjoys drawing; however, he explains working conditions haven't changed much since the Army days. I'm still involved in a war, he says. I share a kitchen where I work with my wife and daughters. It's like holding a track meet in a submarine.
