There's A Hare In My Soup

Hare.jpg

Joe jackrabbit was minding his own business in the pasture where he wooed a furry lady friend when lightning struck out of the blue, and he found himself wading in a soup bowl.  If it had been carrot soup all would have been well with the world. Unfortunately, the okra soup's texture was absolutely disgusting.  Joe tried to march right out of that bowl but found himself mired in a mucoid matrix. Joe's anger at his predicament could define, "mad as a march hare." Perhaps this is what occurs in the daytime in Edward Hopper's, "Night Hawks," diner.
This copperplate etching was done in 2003, is 6" x 9" and is from an edition of 50.

This group of reprobate vegetables gathers each year to watch the "Super Bowl," which has nothing to do with football but is instead a cooking marathon complete with torn lettuce leaves, mashed parsnips, and shredded carrots. You just don't know who might turnip there and whip the potatoes. The veggies aren't cannibalistic since the green ones drink orange beverages and the orange ones green.  Suave scallions sit next to a clueless daikon radish and the peapod who drank until he passed out. Look what he did on the floor. The amorous crook-neck squash sit next to the necessary rooms  marked as dressed and undressed since, after all, this is a salad bar.  The stewed cabbage answers the old termite's question, "Where is the bar tender?"


Three favorite vegetables: lettue, turnip, and pea
