The story of Uhhhg

The Story of Uhhhg

One

Once upon a time in a cave somewhere in what is now France, a person named Uhhhg found a way to draw figures on the wall.

He drew animals and hunters and it was all quite colorful and spectacular.

When the leader of the cave noticed what Uhhhg was doing he asked for an explanation.

Uhhhg told the leader that it was a hunt.

I don't think so, said the leader. If it were a hunt there would be food for the tribe to eat as a result of your work. You must call it something besides a hunt.

Uhhhg pondered the leader's advice and announced that he would call his work Art.

The tribe was happy. A new thing was invented. It had a name: Art.

Everyone patted Uhhhg on his back and then promptly cut down his portion of food because his Art would feed no one.

We, at Tulevision, worry that history is repeating itself on the internet.

Mr. Tule said that if we wanted to make money we should all go out and get real estate licenses (property prices in Tuleburg are sky-rocketing), but if we wanted to be artists we will probably have to keep our day jobs. And we have.

Good news!
