Portrait of the Artist as an Egotistical Jackass

Last year, all the rage in Halloween masks was poor Sarah Palin. Last night, politics seemed off the table. Next year, I predict, we will have a peanutty Halloween. I have already begun designing costumes to avoid the rush. I give you Rembrandt van Peanut. (Looks a little like Sarah Vaughn in this getup, no?)

    You are doing him far too much justice, Howard.

    Stick with the original Mister Peanut masterpiece, (a true treasure), please.

    ps: could there be a mister peanut saluting Putin on the Ritz?

    Maybe you’re reminded of Sarah Vaughan but most are channelling Dinah Washington.

    This reminds me to post the latest version of Obamandias – enough with the revisions.

    The colors and costume suit him very well indeed. I’d put this one up there with The Birth of Afrodite. (“Afrodeity” is in use, btw.)

    As we all know, Sultan Novofruitovsky is in love with Herr Peanut, but my personal fave is still the Caribbean Mt. Rushmore.

    Thanks for your kind words, Czar. I’m partial myself to Emperor Peanut on horseback.
