Fortunate reversal, part II

Filed under: Seal Barks

Better late than never&#8212from Gothamist reader Hamilton, this nifty illustration of a point of view obviously shared by more than me and Marty Markowitz:


Banished Redux


Actually, now that I think about the nudity part of Adam and Eve, the illustration done this way recalls a polymath typesetter I know who enjoys sunbathing naked in Brooklyn. In fact, he prefers border towns like Brooklyn Heights and the park in DUMBO for his breezy basks. Since (as of press time) no outsized digit is ordering him to take his towel to Wall Street and affix a button-down fig leaf, he can stay in Paradise, and his tan line will be forever even.
