MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES.
While the sun shines make your hay,
That is what the wise folk say;
Even better, I opine,
While the fish is fresh to dine.

Looks more like the man is going to beat the fish.
He is strict!
Fish sometimes deserve a good beating.
I will send them over right away!

It made me laugh too!
This is my favourite style of illustration- very simple black line art which is not at all “showy” but which obviouslys requires a. Lot of understanding of just what will and will not work (or what is and is not needed). Thanks for sharing.
It is simple! You are right – it takes skill to keep the drawing so simple yet express so much!
