And now for something completely different ...

...  a cartoon, of sorts.  Let me explain.

I'm teaching a class at KSU OLLI, for old people like me, a continuing education course titled "Illustrating a Story."  It's a new course where students are encouraged to imagine a series of scenes, then sketch it out, like in a series of cartoon panels.  

Reviews are mixed - not a raving success;  an entertaining exercise without high expectations for creating a masterpiece but possibly to be shared with family and friends in casual conversation.  

'Thought I'd share my "rough draft" story illustrating one memory of a childhood experience.

As a "back story", a neighbor's barn burned down one summer night when I was maybe 9 or 10 years old.  Debris from Becker's barn was hauled down to the far end of a field bordering the creek where it would be disposed of, probably buried.  My illustrated story begins with me and a buddy and our 2 dogs rummaging through the trash to see if there was anything worth salvaging.
