Boink

Some­time in the last ninety years, some­body was design­ing a logo for a busi­ness; an exter­mi­na­tion busi­ness; West­ern Exterminators.

This week in San Diego, I awoke to the sight of the house across the street com­pletely cov­ered with huge sheets of can­vas, held tightly together with clips and weighed down along the bot­tom with sand­bags.  A big ban­ner on one end told the story — the house was being fumigated.

I tried to imag­ine an artist men­tally going through the process; putting the guy in a tux and top hat, decid­ing to boink the mouse with a sledge-hammer. But give the mouse a knife, fork and…a bib!

Awe­some.
