The prelimary drawing gives a touching view into the process that made this suggestive arrangement possible. I especially love that they decided not to fill in the “bacon” caption under the hotdog.

Hot dog taking a nap on an old sofa. They got this sucker behind safety glass.

Lou relies pretty heavily on our foreknowledge of sauerkraut. The mustard is not the familiar yellow mustard yellow of the previous post but the symmetrical repose and clean, sharp edges and elegant lettering make it a fun thing to see drive by.

This old woman (you can see her gray bun) (behind the brown and green bun) is struggling to carry a gigantic hot dog. One wonders if the hamburger sprouted hairy man legs, or if a man was carrying it and it engulfed his torso. Either way he’s not in a position to help. An unsettling grouping.

It is as though Vinnie asked the sign painter to make a dog chef serving a hot dog, imagining a cartoon dog in a chef’s hat. But the result is a bizarrely realistic painting of a German Shepherd delivering the food, which is not whimsical but nightmarish in feeling. Still, a great shadow under the Sonoran dog.

There it is again! The hot dog at a 45° angle. Funny, the linear quality of the food must make painters want to represent them at an angle. This hot dog has a Delta IV thing going on.
