Mini-Post: Allegory for a Long Week

Sometimes, you just feel tired and worn out.  Like the universe has given you as much as you can handle, and then some.

Take Mary here.  She's like, "I didn't ask for a baby.  I didn't even do anything to warrant a baby coming to be.  And now I have this baby and it has strained my marriage, complicated my sexuality, and caused me to flee to another country.  But he will not take my last solace.  HE CANNOT HAVE MY LAST DRUMSTICK."

  1. Is Mary carrying a second child, or has she taken too many french fries with her drumsticks? In today's world, she would pass for a good-looking transvestite.

    1. To be fair, she seems a bit disproportioned overall - or maybe she is 8 feet tall when standing...Maybe she's actually a remarkably hairless yeti!

  2. What a piece of crap work. What was the artist thinking? Looks like, "Ghost Toasties," beyond dead. Or a clown look, yeah! Are those curtains in the background - the same color combination? omg, they are!

    Okay, I guess: Mary Peacock. In a box-car. with her dummie. and the weapon used is a carmel apple. How'd I do?

    1. That seems like a fair assessment of the situation to me. More reason not to drink and carve/sculpt.

  3. See, I saw that as a glass of wine in a wooden chalice. I'd have them lined up like shots were I in her situation.

    1. Drumstick, caramel apple, wine glass...she has a whole variety of comfort consumables at the ready to deal with a stressful situation. And wine shots just makes me think of communion growing up, where the juice was passed out in little shot glasses. Although that gets even creepier, since it's supposed to be baby Jesus' blood...

  4. Well, I suppose you have to draw the line somewhere.

    1. That line varies a lot from person to person. She looks like she should have drawn the line a while ago.
