The Cover
- To learn to skate, you merely thrust one foot forward, then the other, continuing these gestures until a horrible fall is suffered. Then you arise, with some such comment as “Oh, fudge!” and resume thrusting. A person has learned to skate when he doesn’t go boom nearly as often as he used to. Ice skate, that is. Once upon a time, a man who had been a whiz on ice visited a roller-skating rink, took off cockily on wheels, found them unruly, and was unable to stop himself until a brick wall helped him—WHAM! As for Papa Popeye, it’s an even bet whether he will learn to skate or die in the attempt. And as for George Hughes, he is a jim-dandy skier, but on skates— Come to think of it, if George were in agony about something, that cover would be a jim-dandy self-portrait.
