    Here's a few photos of my buddy a banana hanging out having the best time we came across each other…read moreright next to the coffee shop in the local area and we were having a fantastic time just hanging out cracking jokes being friends

    As you wander through Nashville, you may happen to pass by a wooden sculpture of a tall, somewhat…read moredated figure of a man who was the deliverer of wisdom through the unlikely means of a comic strip. The sculpture is made from a single fallen tree and was carved by using a chain saw! The artist is Hoosier Chris Trotter who owns the nearby Wooden Wonders workshop in Nashville. He created the sculpture in 2015. The name of the character portrayed is Abe Martin. Abe was the creation of cartoonist Frank McKinney (Kin) Hubbard and was featured in a daily strip in the Indianapolis News from 1904-1930. Abe and the cast of characters created by Hubbard had an informal manner of speaking and from what I've read, had a way of making observations about human nature that mixed truth and humor. Nashville has made Abe Martin a prime "mascot" for activities in the area which include festivals and annual "Out House Races", so it seems fitting that a statue be created to celebrate the figure all year around. An example of the type of comment attributed to Abe Martin follows: "Nobuddy kin talk as interestin' as th' feller that's not hampered by facts er information." Review #1317
