We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
The sculpture would look better if the hands had three fingers and one thumb. Those hands just appear to have too many fingers. I thought it was a rule that cartoon characters should only have three fingers.
ReplyDeleteNoooo!
DeleteIt's also a little known fact that the model used for this sculpture was Lindsay Perigo's sister.
ReplyDeleteSomething about the frumpiness of this scultpture, Beryl Cook's work, and Lindsay Perigo, reminds me of Raymond Briggs' work.
ReplyDeleteIt's Absolute joy to behold. Perfect as it is and makes one feel joyous. That's the thing. Like all those moments on Sound of Music with arms flung wide open in exuberance.
