AA Milne was born today, and those stories were and are fantastic, even if The Mouse has continually looked for ways to schmaltz his work and squeeze it for every last penny.

- Gary Rith is a full-time studio potter and also an instructor of pottery at Cornell University's Pot Shop. Gary started learning pottery in 1983. In 1985 he served as an apprentice to Dean White of Deansboro, NY and earned a bachelor's degree in art from Bennington College in 1987. He has been a full-time sculptor and potter since 1997. Gary started his business in New Hamspshire, where he was selected as a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen in 2004 and in 2005 was named one of New Hampshire's Emerging Ceramics Artists. He moved to the Ithaca, NY area in 2006, near where he grew up, and is happily making pots and sculpture in a purple house on Fall Creek. Gary likes to laugh, and his first goal is to have fun making pots.

Oh the squeezing. I have to say that I get soooooo sick of Pooh products. Jeesh. They make everything Pooh and it's rather sad, sort of takes away the special-ness of the stories and the characters. I have the two volumes of originals by A. A. Milne - I love reading them to my kids.
Gary, would it surprise you to know that the Mouse is in charge of licensing for the RCMP? One of a growing list of national embarassments.
Unfortunately, Maggie, people keep buying that claptrap, so it's not going to disappear anytime soon.
To do an mage search I included 'shepherd', the illustrators name for the originals. Do you realize how few of those images are out there, compared to the modern junky depictions? JUNK!
What is the matter with Mary Jane?
We grew up with that stuff too.
I bought a French language version of Pooh that I thought would be tolerable. It isn't though for me, but the kids think it's great.
(the pooh is in DVD form)
How about Magyar?
I started to write a response. Then it got longer. Then I thought: "Shoot, I'll have to put it up on my blog."
