So, my friend M. T. has been making these cut-paper things for a while now: she has a page-a-day calendar with instructions on each page for how to fold the paper and cut into it so that you get some kind of design when you unfold it. Most of the designs are geometric constructions in the "doily" genre, but once in a while there's a dog motif that pops up. The best one yet, in my opinion, was a factory second where the line to cut along was printed on the wrong edge, and the result was this evocatively surrealistic image:

M. T. was sad but I salvaged this dream-like imago from the slag heaps of destruction for you, oh readers. Enjoy.

(psst: don't tell M. about this; she thinks I threw it away.)
