Want a Walnetto?

Want a Walnetto?
8 x 10
Oil on Board
$100

I saw this couple in France last year and found them so amusing.  The man kept talking to the woman and she kept ignoring him.  It so reminded me of an old "Laugh-in" skit with Ruth Buzzi and Arte Johnson.  In researching the skit for the title of this piece I found out that the company that makes the Walnetto candy was not doing well.  Sales were way down.  After having their name used on "Laugh-in" business picked up and they are still in business today!  I love a happy ending.
