Tragically, my efforts fell on deaf eyeballs since my students are more the SpongeBob crowd, so I post this now in the hopes that my favorite Simpsons aficionado, Mark Larmee, will spot this with love and appreciation. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking of him the whole time I was drawing it.

What's up, Mark L.?
I occasionally waste a bunch of time after work drawing on the dry-erase board in my classroom. When the markers are fresh and still solid black, I can't resist. Here's an example: back around Halloween, I drew this skeleton sportin' a Santa hat to delight and amuse the kids. (For the record, both "delight" and "amuse" were avoided. I did, however, manage to confuse and confound.)
Since my kiddos are currently suffering through The Scottish Play, this week I decided to forewarn them about the upcoming drunken Porter scene with a special shout-out-portrait of Barney Gumble.

I saw this last night, but it wouldn't let me post. i blame the drunk people dancing to loud Irish music behind me. Speaking of drunks, the Barney is great. As is the skull. Two of my favorite things. - ML
ReplyDeleteM. Larmee! It's certainly not a perfect rendition of Barney by any means, but perhaps a flawed rendition suits the character well.
ReplyDeleteMan, look at all those papers I need to grade. That's the worst part of the photo.
