A spite house is a building which is constructed or modified to irritate neighbors or any party with land stakes. Spite houses often serve as obstructions, blocking out light or access to neighboring buildings, or as flagrant symbols of defiance. Because long-term occupation is at best a secondary consideration, spite houses frequently sport strange and impractical structures.—wikipedia
Don’t buy into that cheap anti-Frog Applause gossip, Nose #2. If Teresa (praise be Her Lameness!) had already built a Spite House here, we would have known about it.But that Willems stuff is pretty obstructive….
C:KND was pretty good.He’s still doing graphic kid’s books, I think.According to Amazon, he’s published this year, has a couple of titles due for publication later this month and several next year. He is apparently a hot property at the moment.
Interesting. I’ve never heard of a spite house. A googled a few examples. It would be nice to see some of them in person. Has anyone seen a spite house up close?
“C:KND was pretty good.”-As mention, it was created by Tom Warburton (often called “Mr. Warburton” in the series’ credits). Prior to his big hit, he also did another series for Sue Rose called Pepper Ann (1997-2000) which ran on ABC-Disney’s One Saturday Morning. Now you why I like cartoons so much!

I have never even cast an eye at said doodles. They don’t exist. There are no doodles.

Being surrounded by comics better than yours. Of course you’d build a spite house.
