The document discusses James Thurber's cartoon "What have you done with Dr. Millmoss?". It summarizes Thurber saying he originally drew the water hyena just to amuse his daughter, but something in its expression made him think it had eaten a person, so he added the hat and pipe. It also discusses whether moments of chance can be considered in art, or if unconscious influences guide artists' hands. The author argues chance determines the shape of ink blots but our experiences influence what we see in them. An artist's orientation cannot predict exactly how changes will affect the work, but their ability to observe and adjust is what allows them to develop the work.
