Cartoonist Who Couldn't Draw Horses Pens Plays
New York AP story on Herb Gardner, who failed at drawing horses and found fame as a playwright with A Thousand Clowns. He left cartooning, embraced risk, and urged making the most of now rather than chasing time, while his life and success reflect a gamble on talent. Gardner, nicknamed a mixture of Thomas Wolfe and Orson Welles, wrote the Broadway hit after years of work in comics, animation, and odd jobs.
