Original oil on canvas, image: 30" by 60" copyright 2007 Patrick Pierson
To the right of center, Binky, the trained circus chicken is perched atop Mortimer the Hippopotamus; to the left of center, a band of cutthroat chickens has pirated the chicken ship (say that fast, five times) re-christened, the 'Coop de Ville,' which flies the banner of the Jolly Rooster; and center stage finds a hippocampus in pursuit of Hippodamia, who was on her way to the Hippodrome with Binky and Mortimer, the hippopotamus, when she happened upon a submariner named, Hippolyte, the Amazonian queen who recently lost the magical girdle given to her by her father, Hippocrates, the father of, what else...humorism.
