"Tatered Bunny" by Richard F. Yates (HF)

[Brush pen and ink on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] When we were young (in the '80s) we called something that was all beat up, tired, broken, or trashed "TATERED." It meant "beat to shit." If you ran over your finger with your skateboard, you tatered your finger. If you stayed up all night eating No-Doze to finish a school assignment (that you were supposed to have been working on for months), you FELT tatered for the next day or two... This BUNNY is TATERED. We don't know exactly what happened to him...but it was obviously BAD... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
