I will have to look it up, thank you.
Not to mention terrible pranks. There used to be inkwells built into school desks. According to my mother, in the 1940s, a popular thing for grade school boys was to grab the pigtail of a blonde girl sitting in front of them and dip it in their inkwell. The ink didn’t really come out and generally the only way to deal with it was to cut the pigtail.
He had a tv show, “My World and Welcome to It” in the late sixties.
Except it was a fuctional version, William Windom playung Thurber.
I liked it, but was only about ten, and haven’t seen it since.
After pencils I started with ballpoints (maybe my first was a Bic) but for thirty years I’ve been with fine felt tipped pens, like Sharpies. I like them better. In fact, I bought a “space pen” a decade ago, and really couldn’t adjust back to that ballpoint.
I have never had a pen that had to be dipped in ink, thiugh even in high school in the mid seventies, the desks still had places for the ink bottles.
