I must say this illustration suddenly brought back memories of something I hadn’t thought about in years.
My first experience as a kid of being ostracized for being an irritating non-conformist.
I think it was the summer before I entered Grade 2 or 3.
I remember I was kicked out of a kids’ playhouse in some guy’s backyard because I wouldn’t stop singing the song Yellow Submarine (I think we were supposed to imagine the playhouse was a submarine).
Although the kid who owned the playhouse might not have liked my own particular take on the lyrics,
“We all live in a yellow submarine,
we eat our pork and beans in a yellow submarine.”
Especially if he was Hebrew.
Uncle Ernie refuses to eat pork
sausages now that he’s become
a born again Ashkenazi ✡️ Yet
he’ll stick one down his sequined
g-string when performing his
drag extravaganza, ‘Cumelita,
Queen of the Kosher Bagel’.

A role I’d be honoured to play, having
had much stray sheep practice 😎

I can imagine the reason Uncle Ernie has to resort to a giant pork sausage under those circumstances.

Uncle Ernie is apparently
a bit of a lightweight in the
weiner department 🌭😎
