Illustrated by
D. B. Johnson.
A bear paints a picture that two "fine, proper gentlemen" criticize: "Nobody can tell what it is supposed to be." Readers will delight in being righteously indignant with the defensive bear ("It is MY picture"). Johnson's trademark angular illustrations are mostly black-and-white here; he reserves color almost exclusively for the bear's masterpiece.
