from the press/info release:
” . . when Wegman met Thurber he was crestfallen. That is, he dropped a tube of toothpaste into the toilet. I don’t know why they decided to meet in the bathroom. maybe it seemed like gender-neutral territory. Foolish Thurber left some Wegmans too close to a scented candle and … whoops.
“It seems they’ve started to copy each other’s drawings. To become the other’s ‘evil twin’…but let’s not be naive here!…a ‘good’ drawing? an ‘evil’ drawing’?
No such thing exists…we all know that.
We…did you close the chimney flue? You fool, don’t you know bad drawings can crawl down the chimney like bats, like leopards, like Wegmans and Thurbers????
There is however, possibly at this moment in your unattended studio washroom a witch , laughing at you in the mirror.
Come on now…enough is enough.
Are you being serious?
Or are you just halving (sic) Fun?”
yeah, so there – rain.
rain, rain go away – come again another day.
ha, yeah. it’s raining cats & dogs here in NYC.
so, yeah. of course everybody knows WILLIAM WEGMAN.
but people have asked me – do you know the other guy ?
mais oui / but, of course.
