a conversation i saw on twitter about statues worth keeping reminded me of what is easily one of my favorites.

this is outside of the university of maryland’s student union building, a bench with a statue of one of UMd’s most universally beloved alumni, jim henson, conversing with kermit. people (usually incoming freshmen) will sit down next to them and have their picture taken. it’s one of the most pure and beautiful things on this earth.

this statue INSIDE the student union of maryland’s mascot painted to look like kermit, on the other hand, is its exact opposite.

The Dragon of Bures, 1405. Thought to actually be sightings of King Richard I’s escaped pet crocodile! (A belated completion of a sketch I did for Folktale Week.)
