Two things.
I didn't know you knew my wife.
How did you get her to sit still foir that sketch?

Meade કહ્યું...

That could make a reasonable person fear for his life.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

@Rusty You poor man!

Bob Boyd કહ્યું...

I like it.
Its so subversive.

Meade કહ્યું...

Yeah. Subversive and cool. The OMG coolest thing.

Anne in Rockwall, TX કહ્યું...

Off topic, but as I was clicking to read Althouse this morning I noticed this. Sometimes the icons for my bookmarks in Chrome get messed up.

Currently, the bookmark for Althouse has the daschund icon from Dogshaming. An adorable icon that makes me think of Pupparazzo, although I rarely see many doxies in Meade's dog park shots.

Meade કહ્યું...

Here
you go, Texas Annie.

Perhaps more interesting than the picture (an admittedly high bar): what was the conversation about, and with whom?

My best guess: a junior faculty member who was describing with delight his/her latest research topic, which will result in a law review article read by 14 people.

Mike (MJB Wolf) કહ્યું...

Does this doodle support or refute the premise that, in some way, all portraits are self-portraits?

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

"what was the conversation about, and with whom?"

Well, yeah... that was the idea of posting this!

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

There's also the writing visible from the other side of the paper as well as the handwritten words and numbers on the front.

"Does this doodle support or refute the premise that, in some way, all portraits are self-portraits?"

There are 3 separate doodles, arguably.

William કહ્યું...

The picture of the miffed woman was excellent. I thought it was another Klee entry. If you study art long enough, the quality of one's doodles improves enormously.......I'm more interested in the declension of angels to bees to lollipops to nothing to nipples. All roads lead to nipples. Or maybe it's an ascent from nipples to angels. That happens a lot also.

Richard Lawrence Cohen કહ્યું...

@Rusty If she finds out you said that...

Mike (MJB Wolf) કહ્યું...

"There are 3 separate doodles, arguably."

Yes, but only one I would describe as a portrait. Perhaps Picasso would see the exploding boxes and top-hat as portraits but I would not.

I'm already a dead man, but it's not too late to save yourself.

gadfly કહ્યું...

320 angels
500 bees
5 lollipop nothing nipples

Everything is perfectly clear - the drawing is laid upon its side - wrong side up.
