Panel I"O Nobody Ever Thinks About Nuts"
Horse Chestnut in opening stage sheds tear. Face with red-rimmed eyes and nose are effects
of crying magnified mouth lets out the reason why, via nut notes and words.
A cashew
quote mark in the upper left corner opens the series of five panels keys with the mood.

Panel II
Strains running through the head of a partial human face. Eyes dominate.
On the left, is the painting of a sweet buck eye -- on the right, is the eye of love sculpt
from foam rubber and having a heart-shaped pupil.
If you look at a person
through the eyes of love - they look aright, is the conveyed message.

Panel III
Crossing the threshold of an open door into a warm spot -- are a real pair of
red bedrooom slippers, and a painting of a Coco-de-Mer, a nut resembling the human
anatomy. The twosome whimsically denote the two kinds of nuts created by nature --
the ones that grow on trees, and the ones that don't.
Whose home is offering them
hospitality? Perhaps the female reflected on the paned glass door which occupies
the left half of the picture. A giant key on the other side enhances the
welcoming theme.

Panel V
Lo, more of the whimsical touch of the nut visionary.
Jovial hazelnut shows a tongue stuck out from its human-like mouth
about to taste or kiss the wigged hair of Miss Coconut. Look too for
a profile shaped by the pointed end of the hazelnut. The cashew
quote marks -- now with opened eyes, close the series of
panels crusading for compassion. The united nuts can bring peace.
