Gaspare Traversi's La leçon d'écriture |
He was itty-bitty. Very kangaroo-y. With a long tail. But otherwise very small. I tried naming him but didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. Maybe "Michelle" if it's a girl or a French boy. Michelle the Mouse. Boing.
I'm looking at works of art it would be amusing to emulate in our official band photo.

I suspect some details of the poses in this Boilly painting might be just what the Mouse ordered. |
