How do you make a Walrus happy? Slip him a sardine, wrapped in eight c-notes.

It’s so charming and heartwarming and eye-popping and chuckle-inducing, all at once, to see a magazine offer a framed, 21.5 by 28.5-inch print of its current cover artwork for a mere $799, that I just had to go with this ad from The Walrus‘ website. Note to everyone: I love The Walrus. It’s a great magazine, doing God’s journalistic work, and in Canada yet. I’m sure the illustrator for this cover is an acclaimed one. But still.
