Extraordinary Life Forms #21, "The Ugly Mug"

5x7.75 in., 2003

Acrylic

This is ‘Smot,’ the smelly outlaw from ‘Smuckerspunk’ street, who smote his enemy by smacking him to death with smoked sausages, only leaving smithereens of the smitten body and smiling, sipping a smoothie, as he swiftly escaped down ‘Smidgeon Alley,’ a short and skinny street for small people.

With a sack slung over his shoulder, carrying his stash of smuggled ‘Smorgasbord of Smut’ Magazines, Smot suddenly smooched a smelly girl who wore a smock, successfully escaping she (who was the daughter of a ‘Sminell Town’ smith), who was smoldering with anger and intending to smack him with an iron that she got from a smith, until Smot smirked and snuck away, hidden by smog!
