Recall
A pale performer stands almost swallowed by a huge animal-like shadow, making the joke feel larger than the person telling it. The painting turns comedy into exposure: a small body under pressure from the monster its own performance casts.

Stand Up Routine
So a good buddy of mine, real stand up guy, he was taking some time off work so me and this buddy we went out to the lake to go fishing now my buddy is a real old timey type real fisherman type not much of the office guy type not a talker more of a fisherman. Anyways me and this buddy of mine decide to go out to the lake to go fishing while he’s taking some time off work I don’t really remember why he was skipping work but I don’t ask to many questions I’m not much of a talker more of a fisherman. Anyways me and this old sport this buddy of mine we’re out fishing this one day at the lake while he’s taking some time off work and you would not believe this buddy of mine this feller casts his line he reels it in now mind you this buddy never was one to take off work but I didn’t ask too many questions we just like to fish. Anyway this buddy of mine is at the lake, fishing, with me, on his day off from work, I don’t know why, but you would not believe… he fished up a subpoena!! HA!! How’d THAT get in the lake!!!???
