Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I obviously had little to no self awareness, as I was of this generation and would later in life become a poodle-holic, yet I never owned on. What a smart chick to come up with such an iconic design of the doo-wop generation! And she lived to over 100. Good for her!

But if I had owned one, this would have been it.

Author and illustrator Laurent de Brunhoff, heir of beloved ‘Babar’ series, dies at age 98


Quote

Babar author Laurent de Brunhoff, who revived his father’s popular picture-book series about an elephant-king and presided over its rise to a global multimedia franchise, has died at the age of 98.

De Brunhoff, who was from Paris and moved to the US in the 1980s, died on Friday at his home in Key West, Florida, after being in hospice care for two weeks, according to his widow, Phyllis Rose.

Just 12 years old when his father, Jean de Brunhoff, died of tuberculosis, Laurent was an adult when he drew upon his own gifts as a painter and storyteller and released dozens of books about the elephant who reigns over Celesteville, among them Babar at the Circus and Babar’s Yoga for Elephants. He preferred using fewer words than his father did, but his illustrations faithfully mimicked Jean’s gentle, understated style.

“Together, father and son have woven a fictive world so seamless that it is nearly impossible to detect where one stopped and the other started,” author Ann S Haskell wrote in the New York Times in 1981.

He seemed like a man of principle that had to leave the Rat party because of that.  RIP Joe.

That's how he came across to me as well.

I didn't realize he was that old so it initially was a shock. Not that 82 is old. :laugh:

@Gefn Yes! I read a bunch of them along with AA Milne's books, back before I started reading Sherlock Holmes, the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and others, in the era before I started devouring Science Fiction...

RIP Mr. Lieberman.

Find it ironic he died today, as and simutaneously  some of his Jewish legislation brethren are throwing Israel under the bus.

Yeah, well, he did push for 'smart guns' among other schemes to infringe the RKBA. But, anyway, R.I.P.

He was just on Fox News the other day talking about this Admin and the Israel situation..

adding

Lieberman was in the news just a few days ago after he criticized Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for demanding early elections in Israel. He called Schumer’s gambit “outrageous” and a “mistake” in the midst of Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists

RIP Joe Lieberman. He was indeed correct about Chuckie.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Didn't he talk Election denier ALGore out of filing a gazillion lawsuits to try overturn the 00 election?
