Kliban by B. Kliban for April 19, 2023

Good answer.

His best work is artifishial — i.e., his artistic forte specialty is fish.

She’s barking up the wrong…oh, never mind.

And if he used a knife to trim the artwork, he would be a plastic surgeon.

Is that a real poncho or a Sears poncho?

Got to give him credit though, a hard position to maintain with your feet splayed out like that.

Well yes, I’m an action figure.

Maybe he used to work for Lionel Trains until their collapse@

I suspect Kliban was a fan of Al Jaffee’s Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions segments in Mad. RIP Al.

fwiw – in French, they often use the term “les arts plastiques” to refer to art and art class.
