Mini-penis he thought was his own

[Hepzibah Pyncheon]

Firesign theater anyone?  "throw a towel over it Pablo
and it'll go away" Whats fun is the way the smiling
middle-aged woman looking at the statuette is
unmistakably gazing at the tiny unmistakably erect
penis. What fun! (I've done it myself. I'm especially
fascinated with a few marvelous pieces of Tibetan
sacred statutary...)

These are sweet drawings. The joyous,
lascivious-looking female nude, with the two giggling
children in front of it, is a wonderful observation of
the normal mild response from little kids in a museum
that the wretched American  would-be publisher was
concerned about. The proposed alterations slash at the
sensibility and message of the artist and I'm glad she
had the integrity to tell them no.

Calculated to aypatay da burgoise americains --- job
well done

Ever yours,
