Bogus Art from Bones

Yesterday, Gullivarrr sent me a sea captain’s coat in the mail. I tried it on, and I like it better than the pirate outfit I was using before. So I made this my new pirate wand outfit.

When I visited Keaton, I saw that he’s been stacking fish! Not in his pockets, but in his house!

Two fish aquariums stacked in Keaton's house.

It reminded me of the early days when I had to stack my catches waiting for the museum to open up. 😛

Today, I was thrilled when Bones sent me a work of art (a solemn painting) in the mail! I was just thinking recently that he’s now my 2nd favorite villager on the island, behind Agent S.

Dear Jeff's brain, Do you like artsy stuff? 'Cause I found something real neat when I was cleaning. It made my brain think all kinds of weird thoughts just by staring at it! Isn't that cool? Now it's your turn! -Thinker Bones

Unfortunately, Blathers informed me that it’s a forgery. But it still helps me out, because I didn’t have a photo of the solemn painting in New Horizons yet. And now I’ll know what the fake looks like.

There was a camper at the campsite, Monique the snooty cat. Not only do I strongly dislike Monique due to our history on GameCube, but she recently moved into my ACCF town. So there’s no way I was going to invite her to move in. In fact, I’d rather be stuck with Rizzo than have Monique around!

Midge asked for a new catchphrase to replace “with wings,” so I told her to say “for lunch” instead. She didn’t use it in a funny way yet, but I’ll be sure to include a screenshot when the time comes.

Hornsby wanted to move out of town. I grabbed him by the horn and told him he wasn’t going anywhere.

Fortunately, I got a second chance at a new painting today, because Jolly Redd was in town! He had a famous painting that was fake, a wistful painting that was real, a twinkling painting I wasn’t sure about, and a wild painting right half, which I also wasn’t sure about.

As much as I’d like to have the twinkling painting (Van Gogh’s Starry Night), I went with the sure thing (the wistful painting). I’ll be receiving it in the mail tomorrow.
