Lulu has finally found an artist to decorate the solar panels being installed at the Cafe Perspectivo, the coffeeshop owned by Lulu and Hershey: You'll never guess. Think Sistine Chapel.

With Lulu having rejected Mark Rothko, Hershey travels back in time to find a more colorful artist to decorate the solar panels installed at their coffeehouse.

Hershey the time-traveler has found someone to help Lulu beautify the solar panels she's installed at their coffee shop, Cafe Perspectivo: Mark Rothko.

Hershey activates his time machine to search for someone to make solar panels less of an eyesore -- valuable as they may be in powering a sustainable planet.

For their Cafe Perspectivo, Lulu and Hershey are going solar, but they're not enthusiastic about the solar panels' appearance.

In his letter to the editor, Stephen Donaldson writes: "I do not believe that people who have, for years, habitually sped on Taconic, East, West, Hollenbeck or other streets, will be deterred from doing it again if they are issued with a slap on the wrist (a warning)."

Here's the last of Hershey's New Yorker-style cartoons -- for now. But who knows? As the result of this week's run, he may be showing up in the pages of the New Yorker, right along side Roz Chast. And then we might see Hershey's illustrations at the Rockwell Museum.

Hershey, the angel cartoon poodle, has created a cartoon that he intends to submit to The New Yorker. How's that for worlds within worlds?

Now we know: Hershey has a secret life. He's on the cartoon staff of The New Yorker -- or should be -- as this week's panels demonstrate.

Hershey, the angel poodle, has a real talent: Cartoons, a la The New Yorker.

What if St. Paul’s Stockbridge were to become something entirely different? What if it became the one and only Church in Berkshire County that would be proud to say the same prayers its ancestors said for hundreds of years before (which many of its congregants think they say at present but don’t).

Chastened by eco-patisserie, Hershey the angelic mentor promises to spend this week crafting "New Yorker" style cartoons -- himself. As you'll see.

Eco-patisserie to the max: Dry crackers on plates in the shape of a famous tectonic fault. Guess what the name is.

The film, ‘The Mask You Live In,’ establishes clear connections between what one expert called “the pandemic of violence in America” and the repressed anger and hurt of boys and young men, as well as a narrow definition of masculinity that equates “being a man” with physical force, sexual conquest, and economic success.

Under the uber environmentalist chef Michel at the the Cafe Perspectivo, you get a lesson in sustainability with every nibble.

23.2 percent of the families in the Berkshire Hills Regional School District are low income and this is on the rise. The fringe of the budget is often where each district’s most important support structures for students are funded. The arts, music, school adjustment counselor, guidance, youth liaison, speech language pathologist, etc., are outlets and needed assistance for our children as they develop into adults.
