A Fool and His Bunny: The Art of Will Bullas

Rating:
Summary: A great stress-buster!
Review: I spent the Fourth of July weekend watching the news on TV as the Florida brushfires moved closer to Orlando. The air was heavy with smoke and ash and the really frightening thing about it was that NOTHING seemed to stop the conflagration's exorable march across the state. I picked up " A Fool and His Bunny: the Art of Will Bullas" because I could not concentrate on anything heavier with all of the bad news coming in over the media.

This zany book was the greatest stress-buster of the holiday. Seeing Bullas' "punky derm" and "last call for the bear bar" made me realize that we humans take ourselves too seriously. Maybe we couldn't have fireworks or backyard cookouts or even leave the city because most of the roads were closed, but I was safe and comfortable and able to laugh at the absurdities of Bullas' wonderful paintings. I still don't know why the introduction was written by Clint Eastwood, but maybe that, too, is a subtle putdown! The book raised my spirits.
