The Itch: "A young woman with thick raven-black hair is portrayed simultaneously scratching her right side with her left hand and the back of her neck with her right. She appears to be double-jointed. Her blissful smile possibly indicates her temporary relief from a torturous case of scabies."

Drilling for Eggs: "Green alligator flames dominate the foreground and a bright pink sky provides the backdrop for this disquieting depiction of a color-altered future in which eggs, a renewable resource, have replaced traditional hydrocarbon fuels.  The artist is saying, in no uncertain terms, that unless we learn to conserve our priceless resources, the yolk will be on us."

Papa Nostro: "Clearly an homage to the late John Paul II, this painting is laden with mysterious imagery. The MOBA Research Department has determined that the writing in the upper left corner is the beginning of the Lord's Prayer in Italian ("Our father who art in heaven"). Unexplained, though, is the unusual lettering and Milkbone logo in the lower left quadrant. Also unexplained is the significance of the jagged red line across the image. Some speculate it represents an EKG of the Pope in failing health, while others insist it is the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the life of the "Great One," 1920-2005.

Torment of the Soul: "An ochre aura emanates from the young man with the eyes of an exorcist. His rhetoric rushes from white joyless lips. His left boot fluoresces above a seething swamp. What happened to his hand?"
