A spot of humor to get you over the hump from studio melange.
“I love the duck!” Kerri said.
“It’s not a duck!” I wrinkled my nose. “It’s the golden goose!”
“It’s a duck,” she said. “And I love it.”
I have no real explanation for this odd Flawed Cartoon so don’t ask. I can only offer that I’m generally fascinated by that-thing-in-people that says, “stand your ground” even when the flag they plant will cause them great harm. Smoking, for instance. Insisting, “I’m not creative!” Arguments for stagnation, as in, “But we’ve always done it this way!” “Argue for your limitations,” Richard Bach wrote, “and, sure enough, they are yours.” Imagined giants.
I’m also generally in awe of that-thing-in-people that says “stand your ground” even when faced with a real giant. Remember 1989, Tianamen Square, tanks and the man who stood his ground? March For Our Lives. #MeToo. Real giants come in many forms. So do Jacks.
This Flawed Cartoon cuts both ways.
The only other thing I can offer is this: it’s a golden goose. There is no duck in Jack and the Beanstalk. Read the story.
Kerri just looked over my shoulder and said, “Duck.”
