White Fox Rare Books and Antiques of New York City is offering a very special copy of George Booth's Think Good Thoughts About a Pussycat (1975). The half-title page is signed and inscribed with an original drawing of a cat happily enjoying "A VERY GOOD THOUGHT."
In the description, the bookseller has mistaken the printed self-portrait of Booth's mother Maw Maw for an unsigned sketch captioned Mad Man. We all make mistakes.
Booth has provided the full title page with its own printed dog sequene.
Here's a master class in how to draw a cartoon and write a caption so good that it will one day give a cartoon collection its title: |
"I want you to start thinking good thoughts about someone new at our house.
I want you to start thinking good thoughts about a pussy cat." |
