This is a bleak sun. The haunting black-gray gloom of the extended drawing by Peter Schumann (founder and director of the Bread and Puppet Theater) reinforces the handwritten text that ends with these words: "The more more more officers open a new office for the regulated distribution of the more more more / they are in charge of the not so subtle unevenness of which our system is so proud."
