Leonard Klaatu

…is leaning toward wisdom. The objective is to grow smarter by the day. It’s a worthy goal, often beyond the reach of mortal men. Mortal women, however, seem quite blessed with it. If you’re a man, may your life include wisdom, or a wise woman (or both). I’m Leonard Klaatu and I’m blessed with such a woman, my wife.

I’m also quite shy. I reside in the broad expanse south of Oklahoma known as Texas. It’s here where most of my leaning occurs, but I’ve been known to venture beyond the state borders to places as far west as Hawaii and as far east as London.

I’m an enormous fan of great cartoonists. Among my favorites are Jerry Van Amerongen (Ballard Street) and Jim Unger (Herman). That’s Jerry’s work (below) of the dog blowing darts at his owner.

Laughing your way toward wisdom is part of this leaning process. Jerry and Jim both make me laugh. Out loud. A lot.
