Zen Pencils by Gavin Aung Than for April 02, 2018

Why not do both?

Teach a man to fish and he’ll spend his summers in a boat drinking beer.

Teach a man to fillet, and you’ll have a lot lest bones on your plate.

Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

- Terry Pratchett

And the Woman will clean and cook them.

Teach him how to cook the fish and he will be set for life.

“Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Take his fish away and tell him he’s lucky just to be alive, and he’ll figure out how to catch another one for you to take tomorrow.” – Howard Tayler

The fisherman looks a little like Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs.

It is interesting to me that this latest strip has so few comments, and I am thinking mainly of the usual rebuking comments. This saying is so basic and universal that mostly everyone can relate. Or maybe the negative nellies just found something else to swarm about.

Teach a man how to fish, and you’ll have the house all to yourself all weekend during the fishing season.
