Confessions of a Little Old Lady in Tennis Shoes (Part 6)

As we have gathered from previous Al Wiseman Blog posts, Al loved drawing little old ladies in tennis shoes. And why this was, we have not yet ascertained. Nor have we uncovered the reasoning behind his other fixation of the time: tiny import cars of the early 1970's.

So what happens when Al puts his two obsessions together and draws a tiny import car into a book titled Confessions of a Little Old Lady in Tennis Shoes (even though the Little Old Lady doesn't actually appear in the image)? Will the intersections of these two infatuations cause the corners of the Al Wiseman Blog Universe to fold in upon themselves thus creating a maddeningly entangled time paradox? Or will the weight of the two obsessions cause the Al Wiseman Blog Universe to become so heavy that it actually collapses into itself, resulting in an inescapable black hole, absorbing and obliterating everything in it's path?

Well, no. None of that. That would be silly.

But it does make you wonder. In an earlier post, this blog pondered the idea that the author of Confessions of a Little Old Lady in Tennis Shoes may have used a pen name. In fact, the writer, Betty Fisher, seemed to have shared many of Al's interests. Could "Betty Fisher" have actually been Al (and/or his then wife Dorothy) using a pen name?

Maybe...

The Al Wiseman Blog has no proof of these allegations. And if you are Betty Fisher, please do not sue us.
