Drabble by Kevin Fagan for October 12, 2021

Actually, it wouldn’t matter. The shaker grabs the paint cans by the flat ends of the can.

That’s quite a look!

Surprised he still has the job.

Now you tell me,

They should put Norm in the shaker. Maybe it would shake some sense into him.

I thought he would never give up his career in show business.

Lay down on a canvas and you can sell the finished product for $10 million to some rich sucker.

Is that the voice of experience, Ralph?

I’ve heard of “painting the town red” but this? ;D

It does make a good Halloween costume.

Just make sure that it isn’t lead-based paint that you have on, Norm!

his fashion sense has improved… oh wait, that was suppose to be an accident, sorry. :D

They won’t ask him again.

Yipes! Stripes! It took a rare talent to stripe the paint like that. He’s going to have to bathe and wash his clothes in turpentine.

No flag?

Looks like one of Ralph’s donuts.

He was hired by Home Depot. They asked him to work the paint department at Lowes.

You’d think he would have learned after the first can.

..like a donut with sprinkles.

he definitely is a slow learner. most people would learn after the 1st mishap.

Ace is the place with the sparkly painted man…

Cool Halloween costume though…..

Now he’s a walking paint sample.

Where did the polka dot paints come from.

Shake it up, make a scene

Let them know what you really mean

And just shake it up, keep the beat

And don’t you worry ’bout the reds golds and greens

Just shake it up

Apoligies To The Cars

How does Norman still have a job?

Does anyone paint with “Zolatone” these days?

He’s ready for Halloween.

Most people would figure out to put the lid on tight after the first one came off, but not Norm.

Sure he’s not demonstrating Halloween decorations at work?

It will probably be the last time.

I used to be the paint dept. manager at Lowe’s. Fortunately, I never had Norm’s problem. Did have problems with customers being very (too) picky about matching paint colors. This was when Lowe’s first got the paint color mating computer.
