Eye-ronically, I was trying to make an “ear” pun out of corn, which didn’t work so well. The idea of using different colored kernels to make a mosaic of the eye seemed far more appropriate: a cornea made of corn. The real irony lies in the fact that the coloration of individual kernels is a random genetic event. Thus, it is quite possible that somewhere an ear of corn exists
that looks just like this one.
Where’s the humor in this picture? Hiding in the far left of the drawing is a tiny aquatic bird, a rare species called a lacrimal duck.
