Excellent.
XThere’s an edition of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of Seven Gables on display for Halloween with other books at the library. Your drawings’ as good as the style of the cover art. Keep up the good work.

Re: Setaki and New Yorkers
I am glad to learn the term "hamburger" comes from "Hamburg."I guess they would have been called New Yorkers had they originated in New York. A clothings shop called The New Yorker surprised me in former Communist Hungary earlier this year when I had gone there for a wedding. I enjoyed a lot of Hungarian Goulash during my stay there. I am happy you love the drawing. Thank you.

Re: Sorry TAPS
The heading was misleading.You should have been looking for the bandy legs of the farmer in the picture, but you could not have known that beforehand; now could you? In any case you don't need to see anything in the drawing, just enjoy it without trying to figure out what it represents. That is the beauty of abstract art; it is visceral and absolves you from thinking.

Re: FSI using more picturesque language
How about spicing your blog with some of these interesting terms from Mzanzi? I am willing to provide you with them for free. Here is a sample: How about referring to your father in your blog as "my grandmother's son"? What do you say?

Re: JimmyA "getting burned"
Now when someone "got burned" like that, the whole stadium would erupt and shout "shibobo!"That was before the advent of the darned "vuvuzela" that people now blow at soccer matches over here. During the World Cup, street-wise entrepeneurs made a roaring trade selling earplugs to British and European fans, who dislike noise, and vuvuzelas to American fans, who are just as uninhibited and noisy as Africans.

I spent a lot of time looking for the pig before I read the article. LOL

I love your drawing, even if I can't find the bloody pig, LOL. And Hamburgers have nothing to do with ham - it is said that the first version of that item was invented in the port city of Hamburg, Germany, sometime in the late 19th century, and then introduced in New York by American sailors ...

I don't see any of that in this drawing! Hmmm . . . 
And when I played soccer, passing the ball between someone legs and then retrieving it behind them was called "getting burnt!"
