men on the small diesel on Feb.20. Went to the Playhouse tonight with the Perkinsons and Berggrens to see "Libel" - very fine mystery thriller staged entirely in an English courtroom - and stopped here on return trip to show Perk's & our X'mas movies, followed by some beer & pretzels. Again I was most drawn to the Berggrens. Erie, Pa. Saturday, Feb.4,1939 Felix and his plugging at me to make that cartoon, while it annoyed me slightly, actually was a good thing as it turned out. It has interested me in cartooning again and I embarked today on a cartoon of my own - a hobo lying on top of a streamliner making the shadow of a rabbit on the clouds by sticking his hand into the vertical headlight beam. I am surprised at what good work I can do for being completely out of practice. It just comes naturally. Now I am dreaming of an extra-curricular career as a cartoonist and seriously think I have more chance at that than at writing, although I'd like to do both. Had a letter from the Colonel today advising he had not yet had the Fourth St. property or the stock transferred to Willie's name, which relieved my mind a great deal on the income and property tax return worries I've been having as we have never put these in, understanding they had not yet been transferred.
