Let's Go Fishing!

The present work was the cover illustration for the August 25-September 1, 1962 issue of The Saturday Evening Post, accompanied by the following explanation: "Forty minutes to go, broods Amos Sewell's thwarted young angler, and then Dad will waste still more time washing up and eating and dawdling over his coffee. From the look of this somnolent scene it is clear that no fish will be disturbed until at least seven o'clock, and then, as any youngster knows, the fish will be settling for a siesta. Why, wonders the young sprat, can't fathers coordinate their sleeping habits with those of fish?" (The Saturday Evening Post, August 25, 1962, p. 3)
