“I will love you if you don’t marry me. I will love you if you marry someone else…and I will love you if you have a child, and I will love you if you have two children, or three children, or even more…and I will love you if you never marry at all, and never have children, and spend your years wishing you had married me after all, and I must say that on late, cold nights I prefer this scenario out of all the scenarios I have mentioned…I will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way.”

Howard V. Brown (1878-1945), "The Model Workers"

[70sscifiart]

Brown was a really cool 1930s pulp sci-fi magazine artist. This one isn’t sci-fi, but it still might be my favorite work of his! Which is an odd thing to find myself saying, given that — as longtime readers may have noticed over the 13 years I’ve run this blog — I really like sci-fi art.

I was lying in bed sucking oranges— to tone up the system, you know— when all at once I said to myself, "Cluny Brown, you've got a pound note in your stocking. Why don't you have tea at the Ritz?" So I did. That's the way things come over me.
