It was a casual night, with pleasant topics to chat about.
My father and I were discussing about current topics and suddenly a name came up, “Platipus Maximus” who is meant to be a detective.
One might be curious about the background of this name, but oddly, there is none.
It was an on the spot genius idea! Being an amateur artist, I came up with a little competition. I challenged him to draw a cartoon that fits best with the name.
The next day, we both had our drawings prepared and ready to be judged.
Mother, being an extreme diplomat, ruled both as the same and wished to end the topic.
If I may describe Father’s art, it was unbelievably awful. Not being a pessimist, but drawing a few sticks and describing them as bodies, that’s where I draw the line.
My art was well-received by others and also achieved the deserved credit.
I would be flattered to post my Father’s creation but it would hurt my integrity deeply if one sees our drawings side by side.
