Chapter 30, The Emerging Artist



- Dad?
- Tweetie
- Where do artists come from
- They come from Lakes with soft silty bottoms
- Soft silty bottomed Lakes?
- Thats right, one day a muck covered figure is found stumbling along the shore
- Is that the emerging Artist?
- Yes, Honey. If the Artist is Lucky someone will direct him back to the water
- To wash the Muck off?
- Yes, to wash the muck off. But usually, people think the muck covered figure stumbling along the shore is Reprehensible, Icky and Yucky and they shun the emerging Artist
- Oh that's sad, Dad!
- Oh the worst of it is when all the muck dries on the emerging Artist.
- What happens then?
- It will never come off
- and the Artist never Emerges?
- That's right
- To be an Emerged Artist
- Usually then the Emerged will go without saying
- So did you crawl out of Lake Buena Vista, Dad?
- I was different
- The Friant Canal?
- No honey. Once in a while an Artist will emerge from Another Walk of Life
- You were Running the Wrapper, right?
- I was running the Wrapper
- It was on the Graveyard Shift
- In the Tobacco and Confectionary Workers Union
- And you just Emerged?
- The Foreman used some very bad language
- That you just could not countenance
- Something like that
