Louis Wain Fact #60:
In spite of his aloof and whimsical public image, Wain was a man of many political opinions, and he often sent long letters to newspapers on topics ranging from war tactics, animal welfare, free trade, eating habits, and the King, often back to back. Although they tended to be winding and dense, they were often published and thus preserved.

SHOP-BOY: "Since we had this notice in the shop-window 'Old Boots polished up to look like new,' they keeps coming in all day long. I wish this 'ere Cherry Blossom Boot Polish had never been invented."
OLD CAT: "Ah, my lad, don't you wish you could invent some-thing half as useful?"
