THIS WEEK’S COVER
- These Kansas lads have caught a whale of a catfish; wonder if their father went fishing, too, and hasn’t yet caught a minnow? The catfish’s future is uncertain, as mother is too far away for the expression on her face to be safely interpreted. Some people consider cat steaks more enthralling than lobster Newburg; others would as soon think of eating creamed rubber heels; and native-Kansan John Falter poses a third possibility—he once caught a big cat which, because his folks had already eaten catfish until they were ready to miaow, was reverently but firmly filed away underground. One thing about mother seems clear: she will run a high temperature if her fishbrother enter the house without scraping Kansas off their feet.
