HOW

By the sick look on his face, I would judge he does not much care for

the vittles.

A painful expression in front of a painfully utilitarian cafe. The turquoise and rust colors befit this area of the world.

I'm not sure this display makes the Sloppy Joes any more appealing?  But I guess it would turn your head if you were driving past and that's about as much as you could want from it.  I think it's a great find and the balance with the totem pole really finishes it off for me.

classic americana; classic Dave Meyer! dp

wonderful caricaturing... flatness works to advantage

thank you donna for your kind words! i'm so proud of your comments

The stark presentation and ease yet presence of color sells the story and situation. This is a grounded composition.

It's not often that I'm at a loss for words but this is one of those times. The whole thing is so crisply composed and so head-shakeingly wierd, I don't know what to say. You gotta put these in a book.

Looks like you found your share of gold as well! I've got to get to work on dinner, but I'll be back later to spend some time on your new posts.

Great catch.  I guess this is more effective than a welcoming sign.
