Ballroom dancing is surely one of the most unusual hobbies an octopus could possibly have, but this amorous
pair are giving it a go. The octopus reading the “Tango Made Easy” manual has “SAM” written in the
pattern on his head, a reference to Peter Calvesbert’s first-born son Samuel. The other, more romantic
partner grips a rose in its beak. The interior contains one of the octopus’s sacks of “best ink,” which is
used for defence. The artist’s signature mouse peers out from inside one of the sixteen coiled tentacles on the box.
