awesome!

thanks, mike, for bringing the roald dahl adult creepy.

Mike Hawthorne said...

Mathieu - Thanks! Check out the story, you'll like it.

Tom - Man, thank YOU. Really love this week's theme. I wanted to do Fantastic Mr. Fox, and had a great idea, but thought doing one of his shorts would make more sense since you guys would do amazing work on the kid's stories.

I love this, man! I knew it was going to be great and you didn't disappoint. Now, I just have to read the story. ;)

BTW I thought about doing the Twits. It's a perfectly great kids gross-out story. But I picked something else.

Mike Hawthorne said...

Was it a booger? Cause Mr. Twit would have picked a booger! ;-)

I was tempted to do a piece based on The Twits too. Love the image of Mrs. Twit sailing through the sky on balloons tied to her neck/hair/arms.

With Dahl, there is basically TOO much to choose from!

Thanks, man!
