NINE PAGES ... Oona-licious

Page Four

 

If you were to name

the greatest cartoonists

to ever set foot 

on Planet Earth,

you would display

vast ignorance

by excluding

Peter Arno

 

A sample of his cartoons

appear at the bottom of this page

BUT

you would exercise

superior intelligence by asking

What the Hell is he doing

on a page about 

J. D. Salinger

 

Both Salinger and Arno

were lovers of 

Oona O'neill,

the stunningly beautiful daughter

of dramatist Eugene O'neill

 

Both Salinger and Arno

were dumped

from the life

of Oona O'neill

when the eighteen-year-old 

married Charlie Chaplin

and parented eight children

 

Orson Welles 

also appears

in the dumpster

of Oona's lovers

 

Oh, by the way,

both Salinger and Arno

were stunningly

handsome men

while Mr. Chaplin

is best known 

as a tramp
