Alice: That's a great handprint turkey, Marcus! Marcus: Thanks. I've been practicing at home. I've done hundreds! In fact - my mom convinced the main library to display my handprint turkeys in the "Featured Artist" case for the next six months. Alice: I saw those! They're so realistic! You're another Michelangelo, whoever that is! Marcus: Mom's been trying to interest the Metropolitan without success. So it's on to the Louvre!

But like most artists, he’ll only become famous and his “art” worth anything after his death, which I assume won’t be for quite some time.

His work is rather breathtaking if you stand back abit and tilt your head.

The most amusing part of this strip, to me, is that Mom not only got those repetitive scribblings into the featured artists case, she obviously beat upon the librarian so badly that they agreed to do it for SIX MONTHS. LMAO

Attention, Dan Brown! “Handprint Turkey” is an anagram for “Drink Up the Art, N.Y.”, which clearly means that the Catholic Church is being controlled by the Art-and-Wine scene in Greenwich Village!
Have I written an international Best-Seller yet?
