Yeah, well, if you don't want to come to the family reunion, then don't. There's no need to go cutting the relations out of all the family photos.

Alright ladies, gents, zers, and shims!

After much deliberation, and acute attention to detail, the first ever winner of Bartwork has been decided.

I would like to say that every piece is enjoyable in its own right, exhibiting various levels of skill and humor.

And without further ado, this week's winner is...

Zany Zanes- Your sketch showed a great level of detail, shading, and the fact they were washing a glass made it fit the theme of the contest.

Honorable Mention

Artist: Seltzer boy: The Ruby Ranch Republic - Great color scheme, and attention to detail. I really enjoyed it!

Yay! Thank you.

I was just copying their flag as best I could with the materials on hand.

Oh no, not what i'm saying at all. I love them each as much as the other. Just a figure of speech. They are all family to me.

Well, don't forget to say hello George and Maurice, the ghosts who live in the dungeon subbasement.

For those of us coming in late (as usual), what's the these this week? Can George and Maurice enter too?

Like those used store display figures that you put around your dining room table and in your living room to fool passersby and potential burglars into thinking that you're always surrounded by family and friends? Good idea. Who knew manikins were so useful?

"Who are the Filipinos here?"

Many of the Bar residents use Google Translate to interact with our non-English speaking guests. It is a fun way to converse and respects their culture and language.

"Kids"? You were allowed to breed?--And you found someone of the opposite sex who agreed to this? I'm counting at least fourteen violations of the law and of good taste just in that one sentence. I sure hope that "drop off the kids" means "leave them there." Their only hope is to be adopted by a good samaritan who can afford a major-league therapist.

Not that I'm accusing you of being unfit parental material, you understand. I'm just speaking on behalf of all of us when I say ... Uh ... Look!--A giraffe! *runs away*

The shadow puts away a glass while listening and nearly drops it in surprise upon the winning announcement.

Thank you, it is an honor to have won. So, I'll be choosing next weeks winner and the theme? Alright, let me think a second.

The bartender ponders a bit searching for a suitable theme. They overhear several conversations suitable for ideas.

Be sure to announce the theme well in advance. I'm even slower at drawing than I am at poetry-writing.

Uh, refresh my memory. Is the pointy end of the crayon the one that writes?

I don't know what the schedule for the art contest will be but you are welcome to borrow my crayons and draw with me.

The last contest was 'people at the Bar' and the next contest will be 'animals'.

So all of the illustrations will feature the Bar's zombie penguins, rats, and cockroaches? I ... can work with that.

Uhm, is anyone here offended by naked cockroaches? It'll be tasteful insect nudity, I assure you.
