Hank at Dougrey's Hall shows a man and his dog on scaffolding next to a building in Troy with a huge "Biden" banner. The handmade sign is reminiscent of a castaway on a desert island writing "HELP!" in giant letters, for a stray airplane to see. Many of us felt this sort of desperation during the last election.

Hank is an artist who has lived in this house—which was once an Irish social club—for 25 years.)
