Drawing
Opening Day Fishing Season
| Imaginative pen-and-ink drawing. This drawing appeared in the Capitol Times on April 21, 1981 with Sid's caption: "a sportswriter with an automatic reel attached to his typewriter, an astrologer with his kingfisher prognosticator, a frog breaking in a sea horse, a novice mariner in his bathtub seeking unknown species in the sea of hope, a helicopter goose winging north, a dirigible muskie, a black bass that goes choo-choo and bluegills that go a little buggy in the spring." Sid's authorship is in the lower right corner. |
