called "Bibliophile". If you haven't seen it, it is a drawing of a funky old man standing in a library with books on the shelves behind him and on a table next to him. All the titles on the books are puns. Although it hangs above the fireplace in the living room, no one living here knows that the titles are puns. I doubt they have ever really examined it. I've had it over 30 years and I still chuckle at it.
