Notes on James Kemsley by a bystander
June 16, 2009Jed Kemsley passed this link on today – a nice piece on the late James Kemsley OAM. A great man and a truly remarkable observer.
“Being still pre-post-modern, I don’t know about ‘sense-moral’ or ‘wisdom phrase’. But I do know that snatches of conversation are glimpses of life. And that the best cartoonists, like the late James Kemsley, who for so long breathed life into Ginger Meggs, are masters of life’s glimpses. They abstract from reality as a philosopher might. It’ll do me that these gentle glimpses are offered. We’re all passers by. We all need the insights.”
