Dean, no the blue rug is all Suus'. But it fits quite nicely with the theme. Richard, well said. There's a lot of pith to chew on there and many more inspirations for Canard gift-giving. In some alternate universe I'll be cranking out Richard Canard Litter for the Glitterati TM. Which makes me think we need a Hobby Lobby for liberals (Hobby Libby? The Scrapyard?) With earthtone glitter and a circle cutter that's made to last.

16.12.14 Dare Prophet (profit) David Stafford,...Your vision is surely an accurate one....although, I suspect a bit premature. The IUOMA seems to be still yet in it's prime despite the plight of the whimpering post office....Maybe in a decade or two (sooner or later), when this old worn out system of exchange completely falls apart & only the very elite among us will be in the lofty position of sending & receiving (more likely subscribing to some source of hand "crafted" missives). .... Such things as Fresh & Timely Sanitized Litter (not glitter) in Plastic Bags will be available from an even  more artsy, up-scaled & sophisticated Hobby Lobby (catering primarily to debutante dilettantes ) & maybe personal messages from clandestine sadhus via Art (Aren't) Dealers, Standardized Greetings & Personalized for Select Individuals via Hall-Of-Fame-Mark Correspondence LLC, Blue Grass Pony Express Couriers, & The International Expression,  Of course, anybody will still be able to send a postcard as long as you've got fifty dollars to spare. If I'm still around, I suspect that I'll finally get into that overnight surprise (local) graffiti thing & or alas, joining my friends at the STOP sign with cardboard in hand which may read as: "I'm carb bored. Will make messages on cardboard for fools." Looking forward, Richard C.

I'm tellin' you guys...we could clean up if just turn this art paradigm inside out and go for the capitalist gold....I'm here to facilitate our transition to a complete capitalist model....Let's go to the Erni BAR and open up those DKULT franchises. The House of Suus and the Nikoltsou Blue Jeans. Boekie Stores with works by C Penn and M Wintzer and everywhere cash, cash, cash falling out of the blackened skies. We'll be bathing like Scrooge McDuck in the Vaults of Loot....(at this point agents from the state came in and took the babbling old man away).

Brilliant.  Did David send the blue rug as well?

Thanks for sharing it with us.  Very funny & I'm still smiling.

Thank you, Richard. That's very kind of you.

15.12.14 Dare Ms. Suus N. Mokum,... I wish to jump aboard the David Stafford Bandwagon. This is the kind of humor & visual acuity that I very much admire in  the mail art circus....It wasn't until my third viewing of your post that I noticed the "paris.amsterdam.&"petsmo" gesture.  All best to you.Richard C.
