魯宾·戈德堡（1883~1970），美国漫画家，画了许多用及其复杂的方法从事简单小事的漫画，赢得了许多读者。比如把鸡蛋放进小碟子这种事，在戈德堡笔下可能是这样的：一个人从厨房桌子上拿起晨报，于是牵动了一条打开鸟笼的线，鸟被放出来，顺着鸟食走向一个平台。鸟从平台摔到一灌水上，水灌翻倒，拉动扳机，使手枪开火。猴子被枪声吓得把头撞在系有剃刀的杯子上，剃刀切入鸡蛋，打开鸡壳，使鸡蛋落入小碟子中。 Reuben Lucius Rube Goldberg (1883-1970), no relation to movie star Whoopi Goldberg, was a cartoonist and a Pulitzer Prize winner whose work was published in newspapers and magazines from coast to coast. Born and raised in San Francisco, Rube loved drawing as a small child, tracing illustrations from books and magazines. His father discouraged Rubes artistic interests and insisted that he go to college and learn something practical. Goldberg went to the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned an engineering degree. He worked as an engineer in the Water Sewers Department in San Francisco, where he learned that if youre ambitious, you cant work for government. He was upset by the lethargy of the city employees and the requirement of loyalty to corrupt politicians.

He kept submitting drawings, especially athletes competing in sporting events, and eventually his works were published. His employers came to realize that his pictures were increasing sales of newspapers. 戈德堡什么都爱画，几个月后就在旧金山报业的体育部找到一周8美元的工作。他不停地提交画稿，尤其是针对体育赛事中的运动员，稿件最后都能发表。他的老板这才认识到他的画可以增加发行量。 Goldberg moved to New York and became a regular cartoonist for the New York Evening Mail and the New York Sun, creating characters like Boob McNutt, Lala Palooza and Mike Ike. His cartoons became nationally syndicated, and by 1922, he was making $100,000 per year. He wo
