I Do Other Useless Things

Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

I paint snails. My friends, Ernie and Shirley, take walks and find them for me. Nope, nobody living in these shells, which are all less than an inch long.

I also mark up bananas. Big deal, right? But these are bananas that are put out in our dining room, stacked up on a tray. I sneak mine into the middle of the pile. The amusing part (for me, anyway) is when someone finds it, looks puzzled, then puts it back and takes a plain one. Some people have absolutely no appreciation for fine art.
