‘Dueling Banjos’
A silly thing I painted 11 years ago and apparently haven’t posted here before

A watercolor painting meant to evoke the look of a Japanese woodblock print. A samurai wearing a blue and gray kimono and hakama is leaping in the air holding a banjo by the neck like a sword over his head. He’s about to bring it smashing down on a second samurai on the ground in kimono and hakama patterned in yellow, orange and red who holds a banjo in a low position at his waist. The background is a small hill with a tree on it with water and mountains in the distance.

@PhineasX For @liw and all the other oldtime debianers who wondered what that was all about.

@babble_endanger @suihkulokki @PhineasX Many years ago there were occasional people posting questions about dueling banjos to Debian mailing lists. I don't know why, but I suspect early search engines were somehow bringing up Debian mailing list archives when people were searching for the "dueling banjos" scene in the film Deliverance.

http://pigeonsnest.co.uk/stuff/debian-dueling-banjos.html has a quite detailed explanation of what probably happened back then.

@liw @babble_endanger @suihkulokki @PhineasX perhaps Debian offers Deliverance from being locked in to proprietary software 😀
