Glorious Failure, and Plenty of It

I was talking about failing and failing often earlier in the week, and I ran across this Henry Martin book, “Good News – Bad News.”

Martin is one of my favorite cartoonists, and goodness knows he was successful, but when I got to the back of the book, I noticed how many of the cartoons were listed as ‘previously unpublished.’ (Click on the images to see larger ones…)

There’s a lot of failure in the back of that book; a lot of really good, useful, necessary failure.

And that’s why Martin sold so much.
