Great message for kids today. Just keep going! He was so clever in the art he created, the visual will stay with us. NOTHING, not even gum can hold us down. Thanks for sharing.

I love this, just went to his website, loved his description of the adventurer who decides to overcome the obstacles and continue on his way because, up ahead, he’ll be rewarded for his efforts — so yeah, scrape the gum from yer boot and keep on walking!
Exactly. Love the philosophy and the art of his craft!
