Shel Silverstein’s Unlikely Rise to Kid Lit Superstardom
(via jbishop)
Shel Silverstein is a longtime hero of this guy. His books really shaped my childhood and adolescence. And, he wrote songs for Johnny Cash. I mean, the man is legend. I can honestly say that his quirky satire and dry humor mixed with oddball drawing has had a direct impact on my literary and artistic tastes.
And he’s not a fan of college, “I didn’t get laid much. I didn’t learn much. Those are the two worst things that can happen to a guy.” I hate “higher education”. Bah.
