I bet farm animals sound great when they perform in jug bands, but do you know when they sound even better? Breakfast. I love breakfast! What, to me, is the best meal of the day, to farm animals is nothing more than an all-too-common "cause of death." It's too bad anyone has to die just so I can enjoy eggs, bacon, and sausage at Denny's in the middle of the night, but if farm animals had any idea how delicious breakfast is, they'd probably be lining up at the slaughterhouse to be made into breakfast. What? They do line up at the slaughterhouse? Wonderful! Thank you for being so willingly tasty, farm animals. I'll see you first thing in the morning.(My wife just pointed out that eggs were never alive, and cows don't die to give us milk. I guess that's true. Cows die for lunch.)
I agree that breakfast can be the best meal of the day (which is why we often have it for dinner) - however, if your breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal, it's not really the best meal of the day, unless you have breakfast for dinner - then it still is the best meal of the day.
ReplyDeleteyes i agree shane breakfast is the best meal but im realy posting this because i realy love the pig hes very creative!!!
ReplyDeletekeep up the good work
hahaha...awesome. Hilarious and an awesome illustration. Is there any other way on this blog?
ReplyDeleteOh and is there any animal combination that you HAVEN'T turned into a jug band yet?
waffles with strawberry syrup. and eggs. poor eggs
ReplyDeleteI actually saw someone playing a jug in a band this weekend and I immediately thought of you.
ReplyDeletethe youngs get my vote for funniest comment.
ReplyDeleteYour little rooster is not the first person I thought of for the actual "jug" in the band..Im really curious how how much sound a beak could make..hmmm
Great job, love it..loved the ode to breakfast too. And its not just the cow that dies for lunch, its the wife of the jug-blowin' rooster..
haha, that cow looks very concerned over his twangy string there. Awesome detail on his body though, and think I should point out that that's a very nice barn way out yonder!
ReplyDeletelet's have a moment of silece for our dear friend the Potatoe :'(
I mean 'silence'... or do I?...
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the new trailer for 'The Princess and the Frog' yet? I'm sure you have, but the swamp scene with the Crocodile playing the flute just totally reminded me of your blog and something you'd enjoy! Love your illustrations!!!
ReplyDeleteah, those farm animals are so accommodating.
ReplyDeletegreat stuff, as always.
Nice, you picked the chicken!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I decide who gets to be breakfast based on how good they sound in a Jug Band. If they sound good, they stick around to 'jug' another day. If not, well then...
ReplyDeleteI too love your barn, classic Americana!
Then the aliens come down and have Shane for breakfast!! What would he taste like?
ReplyDeleteI probably taste like tacos since that's all I've eaten today.
ReplyDeleteShane, I saw your banjo pig about a half hour before you told me about it. It's awesome. I was going to link to it the next time I post. What is it about banjos and pigs anyway?
ReplyDeleteexcellent! I really dig your pig!
ReplyDeleteaww this is sweet, your style looks like awesome disney cartoons :)
