Artist's Comments

The male teacock's extravagant handles evolved to attract the attention of the drabber-colored teahen. The males with the largest, glossiest, and most brilliantly colored handles will attract a small harem of females. Males compete only by display, and will not engage in actual battle for fear of chipping.

The downside to the spectacular display by the males is that lugging around such a weight of crockery makes them more vulnerable to hunters, particularly the aquatic crockpotodile, the teacock's chief predator.

...I was nearly asleep, and then it came to me in one of those blinding flashes. "TEACOCKS! OF COURSE!" I'm not well. And I seem to be on a teapot kick lately.

"People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome."

This made me giggle as soon as I saw it. The only thing that could have made it any better was that description- which made me snort hard enough to make my sinuses hurt. Great stuff!

It\'s like life is happening all around me- people are moving on, things are changing- but I\'m still in the same place, in the world of the dead, when all I really want to do is feel alive again.

It isn't the cards you're dealt that matters, it's how you play them.
