~Guy de Maupassant

Love the variety of pieces here... really want to know what the woman is whispering to her date in "Au Theatre." :)
And it should remain a mystery! (Often enough, we'd be disappointed if we actually heard what they were saying. :-)
Wonderful art work here. Enjoyed every piece.
And not a smartphone in sight.
Here you go, HWY. Thought this would give you a tickle:

Ha! Wonderful cartoon. Bizarro (one of my favorites) strikes again!
I especially love the first one. I want to be at that table!
