Bicycle Tricks, Post Cover

About the Item

Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, June 18, 1955 The Post described, “Through this community is sweeping Hurricane Harry, leaving in its path great mental devastation. Of course, Harry shouldn't go like the wind in heavy traffic: and, of course, those irate adults do the same with their automobiles—but that's different, for some reason or other. If Harry’s father, who taught him to ride by shoving him around the block thirty times, could see his skillful pupil now, how proud he would or perhaps would not be. Painter Utz can’t say whether Harry will reach home intact, but has given him a helmet, so that if he happens to crash his father in the front yard, the boy won’t be injured. That baby under the groceries is exclaiming, “Goo!” Meaning, “The more I see of people the less I understand them.”” (The Saturday Evening Post, June 18, 1955, p. 3)
