Cartoon: Drawn to Art

Filed under: Cartoons — Tags: , , — puzzlebits @ 11:04 am

This week’s cartoon is about being attracted to art. I played with the wording a bunch, and I’m not convinced that how it reads here is the best option, but it does play on the word “drawn” in a nice way.

Spoiler warning: As usual, my answers to Monday’s challenge are below the cartoon.  

These are my answers to the Initial Inclination challenge from Monday. Listed are 12 factual people whose initials are P.P., plus four that I consider to be invalid answers: Patti Page, Pope Paul and Pope Pius (however, “Pope” is not the first name in either case), Piper Perabo, Philippe Perrin (an astronaut), Prince Philip (again, “Prince” is not his first name), Pablo Picasso, Paloma Picasso, Parker Posey, Pol Pot, Paula Poundstone, Paula Prentiss, Priscilla Presley, Paul Prudhomme, Philip Pullman, and … Punxsutawny Phil (a living being, though not human). 

Here is my list of fictional characters whose initials are P.P. (I found 9): Peter Pan, Pink Panther, Peter Parker (Spiderman), Pansy Parkinson (from Harry Potter books), Peppermint Patty, Porky Pig, Peter Piper (who picked pickled peppers), Pied Piper, and Peter (Peter) Pumpkineater, as well as the aforementioned Punxsutawny Phil.

Please let me know if you think of additions to either list, as I’m sure there are many more.
