Now, I don't know if Groucho predates the gesture or the gesture Groucho, but I do feel they go nicely together. Me gusto.

Once I smoked cigars, and often wore shoes with no socks. Alas, no more. I'm hoping that a beret will save me.

the complete setting and subject has a distinct 50s/60s feel. the only thing taking it into the modern age is him giving you the finger lol. Very nice work
Steve Hill  not everyone sees the finger. cheers on looking
