Protesters Increase Punny Pickets

The picket line at the defunct fountain by the Visual Arts Gallery continues to grow, mirroring the swelling picket lines in front of the Tesla Dealership, as community members comes forth to stand up for those who cannot stand for themselves.

“Waddle you do to help?”

“Duck Duck Gone.”

“We support to find ducky!”

The new ducky signs demand the authorities continue to investigate the disappearances of Blue and White Duckies in March of 2025. This brings up a great question – who are the authorities in this situation? Campus security? Landscaping? The Visual Arts Gallery attendants? ICE? Home Pond Security? Perhaps this is why these duckies have yet to have justice, they fall between the cracks between the various authoritative groups.

This also brings up questions around who organizes these groups of protest duckies? That mystery is tantalizing, and yet somewhat immaterial. The protesters are here, demanding action for those in their community who are deserving and yet cannot be seen and heard themselves.
