Brought a big bag of chips to my first salsa class. Stayed and learned how to dance anyway.
Ha!
With the Eiffel Tower in the background, my first thought was that this is Will Eisner’s P’Gell.
Well, that certainly seems appropriate!
I tried one of those “Learn to dance in six easy lessons” class once. Apparently it doesn’t work out too well when you have two left feet and a wooden leg shorter than your other one.
You only have two? I have three left feet. (At least that’s my excuse when I try to dance—which isn’t often.)
I have 5 legs. My pants fit like a glove.
Thank you!!!
