Uttaradit Greetings, Keel fans! I’m away from John’s papers at the moment, so I thought I’d give you a better picture of his worm painting. I posted about it a while ago, here. John used 35 earthworms to create this painting for an episode of the game show Play Your Hunch back in 1960; it also made an appearance in his novel Three Women. Here it is!
And here’s the explanation on the back..
Here I am examining that explanation with the composer Dary John Mizelle, photographed by Tyler Maxin.
Ad hnere it is hanging in my library. Below it is a cabinet stocked with stereo cards and magic lantern slides, topped by a stuffed Mothman from Point Pleasant. Beside it is a vintage Edison Diamond Disk player. Animation fans might recognize a cel from Sally Cruikshank’s immortal cartoon Quasi at the Quackadero on the wall above it.
Happy Summer!
