Hello an welcome to today’s Pootie an Woozle diary. Today we haz big treat for yus—three previously unpublished works of great cultural an artistic significance.
Yus has all heard of Edward Muybridge, teh photographer famous fer hiz aminal locomotion studies. Hiz furst an mos famous subjict was teh horse.
He made a gazillion studies of horses because he like dem so much. Dey were hiz favorites until later when he discovered nekkid ladeez.
He made two gazillion studies of dem.
(Ai trust yus iz all tastefully avertin’ yor eyes, like me.)
In between horses an nekkid ladeez, he photographed bunches of other aminals.
But teh most majestics of all aminals—teh domestic pootie—waz almost completely ignored. Dere exists only ONE study...
UNTIL TODAY!
Dat’s right. Teh letters of Mister Muybridge’s pootie (mah great great great great granddaddy, Andolphus) tell of teh long afternoons teh photographer spent in hiz studio, makin’ locomotion studies of pooties an cussin’ up a storm.
Most of teh studies ended up on teh darkroom floor, but fortunately, ol’ Andolphus waz able to salvage sum, and dey haz been lovin’ly preserved an handed down thru teh generations to yors truly.
Let us look at dem an ponder teh mystery of why dese great works of art waz nebber published.
