Look! It's John Kennedy! Oooo! And there's Bobby Kennedy! And over there, isn't that Other Guy Kennedy? Wow! They've all come to get Teddy and bring him on one final sailing voyage, a sailing voyage into the sky…

So, what do you think? Did Jeff Danziger have this masterpiece of bittersweetousity sitting in the top drawer of his desk, just waiting for Kennedy to go? Every morning he'd check the news to see if today was they day. Or was he so blown away by the news of Kennedy's passing that he was moved to sit down and start drawing, unaware of what might flow forth from his cartooning pen, as happily surprised by the resulting piece of brilliant art as we all are?

Personally, I like to think that when Danziger awoke this morning, he found the cartoon sitting at the foot of his bed, a the faint whiff of fine Irish whiskey in the air.

11. What a family, love the memories off the golden days

we had them with us.

Loved their gift for poetry and expressing their thoughts so beautifully.

Loved their willingness to fight for those that others did not care about

Loved their sense of the importance of family

I'm trying to think of a Family that gave so much of themselves for the good of our country --can't think of one, can you help me?

:cry:

7. My thought is that the fourth figures

represents brother Joe, killed in WWII.

12. I know. I was imaging a little boy hiding way peeping out of that little cabin door

Much like that pic in the oval office with john-john playing hide and seek in the desk.

He's not pictured. But his death was devastating to many people because he seemed to have such promise. And he was also taken too soon.



And that boat would have way more passengers on it. There's only one surviving sibling now.

How lonely that must be the sole survivor, alone with the memories of a bustling, large family of your generation

5. It's a wonderful, heartbreaking picture...

I remember seeing it last year...

Danziger is one of the greats.

9. It was posted here, right after Teddy died.

but to answer your question, YES, famous people are pre-eulogized..especially as they age or become ill.. It would be odd if they were not..

Poor Teddy, he's not resting easily after his seat was thrown away to pretty-buy..:(
