I like that the smallest one carries the ladder.

It’s a coincidence but now that you mention it, it does make sense. His brother is a priest. He uses a stairway to heaven.* You know, Jacob’s ladder.

*See Led Zeppelin

The artist with paint can better stay clear of “His Grace” if he wants to keep his head.

Perhaps there was a mistake? Were they there to paint the Joker? Was it hard to tell the difference??? Inquiring minds need an answer here!!

  Kings are jokers but if they are bad guys the subjects don’t think the king is funny.

I love this!
Not all painters are artists . . . and not all artists are painters.

Well done.

  In Miami, we have the best “con artists” in the world. They guarantee their work. You will be penniless.

  They say I am thick as a rock but I am not getting the concrete references of VE and SJQ (?).As far as the painters go, they are in the union and if the king does not approve of their portrait it will go to arbitration. I am sure it will turn out amicably and they will get some of “ye stronge Jamaican drinke” and “paint the town red” so to speak.

  The best con men look like professional “somethings” and in reality I suppose they are

I hope they can do something about that frown.
Have you seen “The King’s Speech” yet? My mom and I loved it.

  No, I need to see it. As a history teacher I love those period pieces with the settings and costumes as much as the historical story line.
