The Fox and the Grapes?

So it is. http://www.online-literature.com/aesop/aesops-fables/31/

I found a lot of pretty pictures of foxes as I was looking for a model for my fox's nose. Look up fox on google images and go "dawwww!"

I kept seeing a redheaded lady with her head flopping backward and a red lightning bolt sticking out of her chest while floating unconsciously up toward a blue box fan (without the box). :-)
Can anyone else see that? Now I see the fox's nose close-up and the cluster of grapes as clear as day.
Nice puzzle, Joe.

Fun to solve. But wasn't familiar with the fable. Am reminded or the continuing education we get on this site.

Now that you mention it....I do see that. For a while I thought there might be pieces of falling sky.:)

Thanks, Adam and Norma.

Norma, this is where the expression "sour grapes" comes from.

I saw the fable of Charlie Bucket and his Grandpa Joe, who drank Fizzy Lifting Drinks without permission and are headed toward the exhaust fan. :)

Kristen: And the moral of the story is... Be the least worst-behaved person in the bunch.

My wife said she saw a flower at the top. That was before I added the fox, so who knows what she'd have seen in that... possibly a tiny, tall, skinny, black dragon with red wings belching forth fire.

I thought it was Icarus... Fun puzzle, Joe!
#10: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Feb 4, 2013
Thanks, Tom.

I thought the sky was falling too! With Chicken Little on the left and don't know what in front of her. Now I see the fox and the grapes. Very enjoyable puzzle, Joe.
#12: Tonia Bergh (tonia) on Feb 6, 2013 [SPOILER]
I agree with Adam - I shared a similar vision while I was working on the puzzle...and it took a minute or so of staring and blinking at the finished image for it to "pop"! Fun theme for a series, Joe!

Thanks, Teresa and Tonia. The grapes are what started this, and I'm actually quite pleased at how they turned out.
