SFG - Comfortable

I have been riding the metro lately and noticed how comfortable people get when they are on the train. They put their feet up, spread their junk around and fall into a deep sleep.

The current challenge on sugarfrostedgoodness.com is "comfortable."

If you are too young to remember when "The Tonight Show" was hosted by Johnny Carson, then you probably don't remember Myron Cohen. Myron Cohen was a textile salesman working in New York City's "Garment District". Early in his career, he developed client relationships by telling jokes. Pretty soon, his jokes became more popular than his merchandise. Customers urged Cohen to become a comedian. In the early 1950s, Cohen left his job in the fabric industry and began performing in nightclubs. In his act, Cohen told long stories, enunciating each word in beautifully cultured English. He contrasted that by sprinkling masterfully mimicked New York Yiddish accents throughout his narrative. His nightclub performances proved very popular and led to numerous appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and "The Tonight Show" during the 1960s. He also recorded several popular comedy albums.

Here is one of my favorite Myron Cohen jokes:
An old man is crossing the street in the Garment District and gets hit by a car. An ambulance arrives and two emergency workers carefully lift the old man onto a stretcher. As they are carry him to the ambulance, one of the EMTs asks the the old man, "Are you comfortable?" In obvious pain, the old man looks up and says, "I make a nice living."

Myron Cohen passed away in 1986.

Contrary to popular belief, wiener dogs are quite comfortable and very much enjoy a mid-morning glide through the air.

Inspiration for the SFG challenges can come from the most unexpected and odd places. A few days ago while waiting outside my wife's work, I noticed a girl walking into the building. The thing that struck me about her was that she just looked comfortable. She had on an old well-worn pair of jeans, some old sneakers and a sweatshirt that just screamed "comfy!" Even the bag she had slung over her shoulder looked incredibly comfortable. It was amazing! Then and there I knew I had my next challenge idea. I look forward to see what you can come up with for this unusual challenge. Above all enjoy yourselves.


Be sure to label your illustrations with the appropriate labels. Label your entries with your name and the challenge label, in this case SFG: Comfortable

The next challenge begins Monday, September 22nd, 2008.

The SFG Challenge was created to offer every member an opportunity to stretch their creative muscles, venture outside of their artistic boundaries and post their interpretations each week on a specific theme. This is a completely voluntary challenge!
