Yeah, I know...I was a little disappointed, too. Here I thought the sketches were by a penguin, not of a penguin.

Sounds like a serioubs find.

Ooops,..that new Mexican janitor just cleaned all the boards for tomorrow’s lecture circuit. /s

[ConservativeMind]

Ping, sir.

[Deaf Smith]

I wonder how much time Scott & Shackleton spent discussing the Penguins’ happy feet?

[Thrownatbirth]

Shackleton, who also took part in the Discovery expedition, made his sketch five years later

Looks like the classic "before" and "after". That penguin did some hard partying in those five years.

What's that on top of the television set? (pause)

matter-of-factly) Looks like a penguin. (pause)

It's been a long time there, now, has it?

What's it doin' there?

Standin'!

I can see that! (pause)

If it laid an egg, it would roll down the back of the television set.

Ummmm. I hadn't thought of that.

Unless it's a male.

Yes. It looks fairly butch. (pause)

Perhaps it's from next door.

(yelling) NEXT DOOR?!? Penguins don't come from NEXT DOOR! They come from the Antarctic!

(yet louder) BURMA!!!

Why did you say Burma?

I panicked.

Oh.

Perhaps it's from the zoo.

Which zoo?

(angrily) How should I know which zoo it's from?!? I'm not Doctor bloody Bernofsky!!

How would Doctor Bernofsky know which zoo?

He knows everything.

Oooh, I wouldn't like that, that'd take all the mystery out of life.

I have my doubts about their authenticity. The institute can’t trace them, they have no history of ownership, we’re in a revival of interest in Antarctica illustrated in several best-sellers on Scott and Shackleton published the last few years, the sketches seem extremely crude and difficult to verify on their own sake, and finally, who autographs lecture notes on a chalkboard?
