The handshake proceeded over a number of hours, seeming to symbolize hand over fist. Perhaps it is meant to signify a pay-off to a lady. This is one of the cloud cartoons in the Mexican immigration problem class, mirroring news beneath the cloud cover. "Cull-ass" analysis is required to filter out the symbolic content. The handshake seems centered on "Garden City", as in "guarding city". The bill of the duck runs through Texarkana, Hope, and Camden, all 3 in Arkansas.

The duck seems to be looking for butt, and to be armed, since his "smoking gun" flags the symbolic 3-state junction. The Almighty seems to commend the handshake or payoff and high-level communications over a solitary quest with a gun for company. The immigrant "duck" may not speak English and suffer from degraded communications, leading to armed "sodomy quest" behavior as a substitute for business as usual. Perhaps the duck wants to cut the crap, but not to engage in parley, and symbolizes an armed interloper. Aflak! The flag on the barrel of the duck's gun comes up over "Corinth", MISS, not far from Fayetteville, TN, just west of Chattanooga and Soddy Daisy.

This puts some pecker in the tale. It reminds us of the song with the line "the birds and the bees and flowers and the trees...and a thing called love." Perhaps the clouds were conceived of as vessels of the mind of "Aristotle" by the ancients.


Feeding the Kansas Bird.
Press for Kansas Birds. Is it a tufted titmouse, or a house sparrow? Now it seems to hover over borderline eyes in a wide brim hat. Viewed as the profile of a bird, the image resembles a bald eagle. As time went on, it resembled the profile of a Kansas woodpecker.

Press for Red-Bellied Woodpecker. This woodpecker seems to wear a red wig. Blue Jays and cockatoos have crests extending in back a bit like this woodpecker in the clouds. Don't miss Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins, or Profile by James A. Green.
"The woodpecker could hide in the forest, but for his beak."
