Known for his innovative use of fonts, Piatti once said, “You can draw an owl a thousand times, and never find out its secret.” Why are these owls so happy? That’s just what the chickens, ducks, and geese want to know. But when they send a peacock over to find out why, they’re incredulous at the reply. How could anyone be happy simply to see the rain and sunshine? What could be so joyful about the flowers and butterflies?
