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!”
