Alice: That cloud looks like a TV set. Beni: That one looks like a computer monitor. Alice: That one looks like a monkey with a banjo. Beni: Where? Alice: There. Oops, now his head is drifting away. Beni: I don't see - Alice: Now it's growing a new head - and the banjos turned into a club. Beni: Where? Where? Alice: It's got a dragon head! And tentacles! And look! Great big bat wings! Beni: I still don't - Alice: See? Flames billow from its jaws as it descends in awful majesty! Beni: NO! AAAGH! Alice: Now it looks like a guy eating soup. Beni: Oh, thank God.
One of the things I’ve always loved about Richard Thompson’s work is that he letters in upper and lower case. The Tin Tin books were lettered like that, but I don’t think they were hand lettered. I’ll have to find my old copies and check it out. BTW – the Tin Tin movie is still in the works … at least the last I heard it was. Does anyone know?
