Performance art?

Schnozzola Crayola.

He’s gonna be a salesman advertising Conte crayons

It starts with sniffing crayons and proceeds to bad things happening.

Proof positive!!

Just call it a “performance”, title it “Burnt Sienna life struggle #732” and it’ll make you a genius in some artistic circles… 10 more points if you do it in the middle of a religious celebration or classical art exhibit. (And that’s only sticking it up your nose. What when you’ll…)

I wonder what a conte crayon tastes like?

I see Nelson takes after Grandpa!

THIS IS SERIOUS! Remember what happened to Homer Simpson.

You were saying, Opal?

Never heard of them.

i went to high school with Tony Conti – he makes crayons now?

Today on Maury Povich: “Earl, you are the grandfather.”

Haven’t used those since college, I think. I’m sure I never got one stuck up my beak, though. Well, almost positive. Okay, I’m kinda almost sure. Well, it may have happened to some other kid in my art class, but it probably wasn’t me. Ok, FINE! It was me, but it was only once!!! I mean, I’m pretty sure it was only once… :P

If that’s so, Homer Simpson, from now on, will be known as Springfield Genius. :-)

He had to get it up his nose just right for it not to fall out. That takes talent. I didn’t say it was a good talent though.

Don’t worry kid……. If you inherited your Grampa’s nose, it should come RIGHT OUT..!!!!!

and his grandfathers genius. :D

It happens to almost every kid…something up their nose.

Ok, maybe it’s “performance art” he’s good at.

One of the many risks artists take.

Yes, he is definitely a genius, or he is playing the long game with Grandma. Time will tell.

I’ve heard of beans in your ears!

Artiste

He has a nose for the arts.

A consequence of meditation.

Had to to find just the right shade of booger grey.

Nelson is like Homer as a child. (Watch it, before that crayon is lodged in your brain!)

Rings on his fingers and

Bells on his toes and a crayon in his nose

And there’s your proof, right there!
