It is strange what you can find on the internet. I found this sketch by Dad that he submitted for publication to the Arcadia Tribune. Publication date was November 10, 1977. This was published in a small section called "Slice of Life," which you can see at the bottom right-corner of the page in that link.
Ever since Adam and Eve had trouble sleeping' after they bit into that apple, people have been seeking cures and remedies for insomnia. Countless suggestions, even more than all the sheep you could possibly count trying to catch some sleep, have been made. Some authorities suggest sipping warm milk before retiring. However, the results are questionable. Also this milk method has never been accepted or approved by Morpheus. Others insist insomnia can be cured with a glass of wine in an attempt to seek sleep. This practice can create problems. Oftentimes one glass is not sufficient for sleep, so subsequent trips to the bottle are required. You'll sleep alright, but you might end up at an Alcoholic Anonymous chapter. And if you were employed, your chances of standing in long lines at an unemployment agency are great. My suggestion is to discard the above suggestions and get on the tube. Television is the cure. It's a lullaby--it lulls you to sleep. It's like a narcotic and you will soon have a sound night's sleep. And there's no after effects except for the electric bill. CHARLES WALGENBACH Duarte
