REPRISE: “A Can of Piskies” • by Andrew Jensen

 



We’ve published a lot of stories by Andrew Jensen in the past few years.

He has a wonderfully wry, understated, very Canadian sense of humor—excuse me, “humour.” It was a challenge to pick a favorite story of his for this “Best of” series. My first choice would be “Running Away with the Cirque,” which you’ll find in Stupefying Stories 24. (And which you can read for free, if you’re a Kindle Unlimited subscriber.)

But since I’m limiting these “Best of” of reprise posts to stories that are available online, my second choice is “A Can of Piskies,” because it’s the story that first introduced us to Andrew’s wonderfully dry sense of humor. It’s funny, and clever, and different… and has an adorable photo of a bored calico cat as the illustration. At least, I think that cat is bored. How do you interpret her expression?
