    Of course you know I now have tears streaming down my face cause I just had to see the clip!!! OMG!! I'm still laughing E!!!! Oh man was that the funniest! I love the to tone color palette. It really works so very well. You never do line and this is wonderful!!!!!!!! I love it and this would be GREAT as a Letterpressed piece!!!
    Question. Do these elephants make that same sound???? Can the monkey do that dance?? Just wondering.

    Hey Eric! That CB clip was the best!! Still laughing. When my wife and I were dating, on Saturday night, a group of us would go get a number at the bowling alley (it was usually over an hour wait for an alley) , then we would go to my cousin's house (He lived the closest to the bowling alley) and watch Carol Burnett, then go back to the bowling alley just in time to hear our number called..... now I'm dating myself ;o). Love the illo! Very cool color palette and I like that you didn't forget the monkey! You ROCK!

    well, my english isn't good enough to understand the joke, with all its details. A pity, I figure, because only seeing them laugh for so long and in depth... :-)))
    Anyway your illo it's real fun by itself.
    Monkey plays a important part, I suppose.
