Intermission:
While looking for my third example I stumbled upon this (recommended for DSL or equivalent hook ups) Russian Masha Interlude
Russian music...man does that do it for you or what ;-)

I also stumbled across this...also very Russian...and for a 10 year old...talented!
Another Masha
My favorite is the one titled "little prince" - just knowing that Russian 10 year olds are reading that book make me want to go down to the local school boards and say hey...what's the deal! Why can't we give our kids some culture!

Ok back to business....

This is the best I can do for an example of "Masha", who illustrated some children's "golden books" and other books Fairly obscure artist now...but far above most other golden book artists of the time (1940's).

I never was a fan of underground comix...and yes I too think Crumb "sucks". I like art which brings out the best in mankind...not parodies the worst. Also...these folks are dying awful young. All the free-love and drugs are making a percentage of the boomers fall off early.

They need to pay attention to what counts...something Mr. Carl Barks (who lived to a ripe old 96...or 97?) made available to all these boomers when they were kids...

"Donald, boys ...don't fall for that free love garbage.
Stay drug-free, smoke free and one day you too can achieve all this!"
