Here’s a birdbee drawing from a few months ago that I have held back because no one I showed it to has understood what it is about. In spite of the confused looks I get for this one, I decided to publish it while birdbee is still officially on vacation. It would be great fun for me to read your thoughts about this drawing. Can you tell what I was trying to say?

looks like Oaklawn Farm Zoo.
hmm… this one is puzzling. maybe it’s something to do with the fact that they are all animals. Like, asking the question, why are we free when certain animals are caged? Birdbee can hop on his trike and cruise around. Those other obscure critters are stuck behind barbed-wire to be eaten someday. so philosophical.

One of these days I am going to figure out how to get this idea to work, and then I will try again. Meanwhile I am truly enjoying the interpretations you guys are providing, so I hate to ruin it all by saying what I was trying to do. 🙂

I agree with all of the above comments…..what WERE you trying to say?
August 26, 2010 at 7:21 pm |
changed my mind……it’s the macy’s day parade animals.

I’m thinking animal crackers or balloon animals. Or maybe they are crosses between two animals like birdbee.

gummie bears, stuffed toys? And here’s me being all Orwellian and assuming I’m looking at Snowball and Napoleon….hmmmmm…..summer best be short Birdbee, lest you leave us to fill in the blanks……

Or is he admiring the steakelopes and bacelopes?

He’s wondering how they all got such substantial legs.
August 20, 2010 at 1:13 pm |
They do look like stable animals. (did I just make an extremely lame pun?)

Are they gummies? Is birdbee at a candy farm?
August 20, 2010 at 1:02 pm |
Candy farm. I like that idea. I may have to steal it at some point. 😉

Birdbee is looking at stuffed animals in his room and dreaming they are free on the farm.

That’s a nice thought too! These diverse reactions are making me think I should stop writing captions and just let people see and think whatever they want.

Birdbee is concerned for the animals because of the approach of an obscene looking cloud.
August 20, 2010 at 10:12 am |
that cloud does look a bit suspect…

Birdbee is wondering how the hell he got there without steering the bike…
August 20, 2010 at 1:09 pm |
birdbee does not steer the tricycle, that is true, but still it takes him where he needs to go. 😉
