- Burl seems to simultaneously believe these are reproductions (painted by deceased people) and at the same time painted by Jabba (the non-starving person)
- Or, Burl seems to believe that if Jabba is not starving he must be deceased, despite evidence to the contrary, such as the fact that he is drinking a soda.

Dead Artist Walking
In today's Dinette Set, the Pennys stumble (must have been inadvertent) across an art booth; this brief encounter with poorly-scanned classical artwork doesn't prevent the reader from scratching their head because:

No man, Burl's logic works out!
Burl's First Claim: Jabba's sign seems to indicate that the paintings were produced by Jabba (A), who is starving (B). Jabba is fat. Therefore, B is false, and the obvious interpretation of the sign is incorrect!
Burl's Second Claim: The sign WOULD be correct if Jabba produced all those paintings (C), and was starving in the past (D).
Burl's Third Claim: If C and D are not both true, then the sign is incorrect and should instead say "deceased artist sale". This implies that all the paintings were done by deceased artists (E), OR that they were done by Jabba, who himself is deceased and only looks fat because of post-mortem putrefaction (F). Or Jabba could be a zombie and is permanently "starving" for the brains of the living (G).
Since zombies don't usually drink sodas, and Jabba is in a conspicuous "Weekend at Bernie's" pose, my money is on F.
Guys, its very simple logic here!!!
(A)The guy has bought a truckload of very bad, faded reproductive prints for $1.00 each.
(B)He is selling them at a flea market for $10.00 each
(C)Burl will offer $5.00 and they will settle at $8.00.
(D) Burl will think he is really getting a bargain!
(E)The very overweight Vendor just ate a triple cheese steakburger with fries and is drinking his jumbo chocolate shake (from Steak and Shake)
(F) Now I am gettng hungry!
