Lincoln served as postmaster in New Salem, Illinois, and later as county surveyor, all the while reading voraciously. He decided to become a lawyer and began teaching himself law by reading Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England and other law books. Of his learning method, Lincoln stated: “I studied with nobody”.
Becoming President, after 45, is a low bar, indeed!
And, though an adult, in the 1960s, I immersed myself in various “Counterculture Comics” where things could “move” from panel to panel – my favorite: “The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers”.
That enhanced my ability to appreciate the point trying to be made while ignoring “the verbiage” and, yes, lines on a page are a form of ‘speaking’.
