Day By Day In Every Way I'm Getting Older And Older
boblipton29 July 2019
The cat is going around the farm using the self-help mantra of Emil Coue -- "Day by day, in every way, I'm getting better and better" -- to improve performance. Chickens lay more eggs, corn stalks grow bigger ears of corn, as well as bananas, shoes, and barrels of rum, and the monkey gets out of the wheelchair and scampers around. Only Farmer Al Falfa is immune to the magic of the incantation.

Although Coueism is forgotten, there is never any shortage of offers of One Simple Trick That Will help you lose weight, gain weight, make money fast or accomplish whatever it is you want to accomplish. Once upon a time, you had to buy a book. Now you simply click a link at the bottom of your Internet page.

This 1923 Aesop's Fable from Paul Terry shows a lot of advancement from the stuff a year earlier. The animation is better, the jokes are more focused and the dialogue no longer appears in balloons, but in standard silent form: intertitles of white letters on black background. Terry was still intent on breaking from the pack of cartoon producers
