GoGo van Goghgogh wracked his brain (no easy task, embalmed as it normally was in Plutonium Joy Juice) and finally remembered whose portrait he had promised to paint. He worked feverishly to finish the project, neither sleeping nor eating, and interrupting his efforts only long enough to run downstairs and pester me for more Joy Juice (as the Ministry's astronaut/custodian, I have the keys to Martian's liquor cabinet...). Knowing the strain he was under, I couldn't say no.
At last the job was done, and an exhausted GoGo called Dark Lady Kimberly up to his studio. She stared at the portrait expressionless for many minutes, then finally turned to him. She nodded once, and left.
Nice portrait. GoGo done good.
Tree pusher .., I would say the desired effect has been achieved ......the mono log wasn’t bad either .., put them both together ..and you have ..outstanding ..
I see why she was satisfied. Well done.

Dramatic, eye-catching portrait, Randy.
Thanks, JeffL. Glad you enjoyed GoGo's work, lol. He'll be pleased to know you liked it. Thanks for your very kind comment and visit, it's most appreciated!

Thanks, Jan. GoGo worked hard on this one, as it's not a good thing--even perilous--to present something to a Dark Lady she doesn't like!
Glad you enjoyed this bit of fun, and thanks for your very kind comments and visit, always much appreciated!

Thanks, Dr. Bob. Just having more fun with our ridiculous tales of the Ministry of Mayhem. And what would the Ministry be without GoGo and his artistic efforts, good or bad, lol.
Thanks for your very kind comments and visit, I'm grateful!
Thanks, Angler. GoGo really pulled out all the stops to get this one done, as there are a lot of empty Joy Juice bottles rolling around on the floor of his studio! Maid's day off, I guess, so I'll have to pick them up. As usual. And I may just fire that maid, since I end up doing everything around here anyway. Maids may work from sun to sun, but an astronaut/custodian's job is never done. ; )
Thanks for the very kind comments and visit, always most appreciated, and thanks for all those thumbs!
