Glass Deadpool loves you!
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover:
It’s that time again! The Indiana State Fair is an annual celebration of Hoosier pride, farming, food, and 4-H, with amusement park rides, cooking demos, concerts by musicians either nearly or formerly popular, and farm animals competing for cash prizes without their knowledge. My wife Anne and I attend each year as a date-day to seek new forms of creativity and imagination within a local context…
…and as we discussed last chapter, we are now “enjoy the exhibit halls more than the carnival rides” years old. Beyond all those Lego kits and original creations, sculpture and dioramas came in other media and forms throughout the fairground art competitions.
A homemade Fisher Price Wizard of Oz set.
Waffle Sudoku, using nine different tiny toppings instead of numbers.
A Sour Patch Kids bag. It’s art, not a snack.
A cross Stitch who is not cross-stitched.
A big blue octopus.
A big green octopus in a different building and medium.
Every 21st-century dollhouse should have a Magic Emporium in its neighborhood.
Soon every dollhouse will have a coffeehouse in its neighborhood.
Pray your dollhouse neighborhood is never overrun by a Warhammer army.
In the fields in front of the 4-H Building, a set of four art installations had no signs and no explanations, such as this pair of wings from an anime I haven’t seen or maybe an old Aerosmith album.
Giant alligators!
Giant snake garden!
Giant Kitsune!
