Americana! Presented by Sam Eagle, Tuesday Period 4 [7/20]
Sam was behind the usual podium in the usual classroom once more this week. Thankfully (or not, depending on your point of view) this week’s class was not being held virtually.
“Welcome back, students! I trust you have all recovered from the holes that plagued this island for the past few weeks. And from any unpleasantness you might have suffered yesterday but let us not speak of that!” Seriously. Don’t speak of it. That was how you got a yelling bird at the front of the room going on and on about indecency and moral decay.
“Now, some of you have missed some of our classes! Not to worry. I would be pleased to catch you up on what you may have missed due excessive weirdness. We have discussed Independence Day and baseball thus far! Please see me after class if you have questions pertaining to those subjects.”
“In light of recent events,” Sam continued (really, don’t bring up yesterday), “today we shall discuss something extremely wholesome. Today, in Americana! Presented by me, Sam Eagle, we shall discuss famed American artist Norman Rockwell.”
Oh look, a powerpoint presentation showing examples of Rockwell’s art. How did Sam put these together on a computer with only felt wings?
“You may be familiar with some of Mr. Rockwell’s work! He illustrated covers for Boy’s Life magazine, and more famously, The Saturday Evening Post. He also did illustration for such famed and extremely American companies as Coca-Cola, Jell-O, and General Motors! He also was very helpful to the war effort during World War II. I should find out if Captain America ever met him!”
Such a fanbird, Sam was.
“I have, of course, many more interesting facts about Mr. Rockwell. Please, feel free to ask questions!”

Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!

"Art is weird," she muttered.
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
RUDE, Malia. Rude.
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
"They all look weird," Malia pointed out. (That was called style, honey.) "Humans don't have round pink cheeks like that. And how is bad drawings of people help a war effort?"
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
Bad drawings? Malia, how very dare.
"The posters encouraged those at home to do their part!"
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
"By what, looking like you're really excited about having gotten hit in the face?"
Look, some things Malia just hadn't been human long enough to properly understand, yet.
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
"Apparently," Malia agreed. "I'm just not really into ugly stuff."
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
"Young lady, art is subjective and you are wrong."
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
Malia tilted her head. "What does 'subjective' mean?"
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
Sam, that's not how that works.
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
"Not the way I view it," Malia said. "The way I view it your way is incorrect."
Checkmate!
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
"I am the teacher!" That meant he was more correct, so there!
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
"And you taught me a new word. Good job?"
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
Some students were impossible. But at least she hadn't bitten him today.
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
Was there ever really an invitation for that?
Regardless, enjoy your serenade, Sam.
Re: Listen to the lecture and discuss Norman Rockwell!
"Your presence was not missed!"
Noted, of course, but not missed!
Talk to Sam! [7/20]
