Delicate Being

Popular fiction, especially movies, portray men tough as iron who perform impossible tasks with ease, win the ladies and are respected by all. In reality, we are rather less robust, subject to the vagaries of time and disease. I can think of several macho leading men who met with sad and painful deaths. Steve McQueen and Humphrey Bogart come to mind. There are, of course, others. Think of all the otherwise hardy individuals who feel prey to the corona virus in the early days of the pandemic. So we are much more delicate than we'd like to believe. This is a 6 by 4 inches gel pen with color pencil drawing on medium bond acid-free paper.
