("What?! You mean you haven't seen 'The Illustrated Fluid Pudding' yet??!")
Seriously, you should do this!

at 4/10/2008 10:00:57 AM- I'm sorry to have to disagree with everyone else here...I hate these.
Why? Because it's yet another reason I end up being stinkin' jealous of your creativity and talent. I try to draw and end up making uneven squares and the same simple geometric squares that I always draw, indicating a possible genetic sequence deficiency in my DNA. I hate that they're so good, so transparent, and incisive.*
Excuse me while I go back to re-read them a few more times and then go ask God to forgive my unbridled avarice.
*i don't really hate them.
These are so cool.
They remind me of letters my dad sent me when I was little. They were all his illustrations of the lady who swallowed a spider. I wish I still had them.
