What the judges said

JP : He looks somber. Reflective. Thoughtful. Too bad we can’t say the same for the dude...

GH : The three segments suggest a triptych - and like those religious triptychs we studied in art school, I have no clue what it all means.

SP : Maybe this design is a memorial of some kind, made in Glenn’s honor. Speaking of honoring the deceased - did Jim accentuate the zit on that guy’s nose?

JP : Maybe both ‘Glenn’ and the cow died in a car accident - he hit the cow! And while Glenn was honored with an obituary, the cow was honored by becoming a Salisbury steak.

SP : It’s his friend Coop’s fault. That Coop was never no good! Always speeding through farmland.

GH : What if the dude in the picture is actually Coop, and that’s the expression on his face when he heard his friend Glenn died? Totally blank. What a jerk. Or is he in shock?

SP : But the important question is: is it boring?

JP : There are so many layers to unravel. It’s a mystery. It’s almost melodramatic.

GH : It should be made into a movie. Maybe it would go straight to video, but I’d rent it. “The Glenn Squires Story”?
