"The Child Understanding the Approaching Infanticide" and "The Infanticide"

Ah, where to begin.

There were four napkins, two of them visible here, the others sporting the "titles" you see in the upper two corners, and the dates in the lower two corners.  Those were all done at Original Joe's in North Beach on 1/19/19.  And so they sat, until I glued the two napkins to this piece of cardboard on 1/11/20 here at home in Cathedral Hill.  And so that sat.  Until I tore apart the remaining two napkins and stapled the titles and dates to the cardboard and Le Voila - it is finished.  That was Sunday, October 29th 2023, also here on Cathedral Hill.

And now you know.
