A tale of two sixes

It was the best of . . . no, I’d better not go there. For one thing it’s late as I’m writing this and even in the best of times, I would have a Dickens of a time trying to pull off a literary challenge of this magnitude. The literary reference isn’t completely unwarranted here, because I found these penguins at Borders books. At first glance you might think the tiny set of six are identical, as I did when I picked them up at the store. But if you click for a closer look you can see that each penguin has its own pose. The larger penguins are identical to one another, but that doesn’t make me love them any less.
