My guest today is Bob Eckstein, author of The History of the Snowman and a humor columnist and cartoonist. But first, I’d like to set the tone for this interview by reading from a poem that Bob found on a needlepoint throw pillow sold at a garage sale: I made a snowman as perfect as can be, I thought I’d keep it as a friend, and let it sleep with me. I made it some pajamas, And a pillow for its head. Then last night he ran away, But first he wet the bed. Bob Eckstein • • •
