Er...this didn't turn out the way I intended. Actually, I was going for a "dismissive "tut, tut" and didn't realize how it would look to the camera.
How do you like the beats in the background? They're so delightfully decadent!
It occurred to me that Beats were always angry, so I tried an angry pose. Geez, is my head really that big?
Beatniks smoked a lot, so I thought I'd throw that in.
While I was fooling around with beatnik pictures like these I chanced on a one act play about the subject that turned out to be brilliant, so I decided to illustrate that story instead of my own. The problem is that I had to change it a bit in order to squeeze it into a single post. I'll give the author full credit, but I doubt that will deter him from coming after me with a meat cleaver!
Aaaaargh! Now I'm going to drag myself back into my sick bed!
