I just like the spunky colors mostly—and the funny image. Otherwise, to be honest with you, as an end reader I would not get the whole slipped jacket idea. Just seems like a technique to add to the quirkiness of it all and not so much a well conceived idea. But nice nonetheless.Ian Koviakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06779092543413941740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-75055317948652075612009-08-13T23:42:55.513-05:002009-08-13T23:42:55.513-05:00doesn't it look like the person is hanging her...doesn't it look like the person is hanging herself?<br /><br />the feet+chair look hastily pasted together; it's a shame that it dilutes the otherwise neat concept.eddiehttp://eagleflieswiththedove.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
