For Erma

Penny White

I make no claim to fame as an artist. I can barely draw a straight line with a ruler. However, I doodle. And, on rare occasions, I find my doodling actually resembles something.

This was a doodle I did after reading an Atlanta Journal-Constitution article about the life of Erma Bombeck shortly after her death in April 1996. It has been filed away ever since.

It was one of Erma's trademarks: she could make you laugh and cry at the same time.

God Bless You, Erma. You are missed.
