Illustration Friday-- Clumsy


Do we really know HOW Humpty fell off the wall?  Was he just plain clumsy, or was there something more?



Remember this Sue and Debra??  Ah, so long ago, those Moore days! (Thanks, Scott, for braving the wilderness of the attic to find this!)

    Hee Hee - you know Krista you are one of about five people in the world that are still allowed to call me Sue!!! YES, I remember this little gem, what a riot and great to see it again, I wonder what Humpty did? He seemed like he was such a gentle soul, but you know what they say about "still waters"....Thanks for the link! Have a great weekend!

    ps - Hopefully Debra will be blog-visiting again, must be swamped and travelling...

    Hahaha! I'm glad Scott dug this out for you... and especially for us Krista! This is so hilarious. The expression and emotion are so perfect! The costumes are exquisite and it's such a great piece for the topic. Thanks for making my day!

    great krista! i'd love to see the second panel, the one where she falls off to the other side where all the kings horsemen and men couldn't see her!

    I was very tempted to do a Humpty Dumpty image for this week's IF idea. I'm glad I didn't now because it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as this. I take my hat off to you Krista, it's a very sharp, neat, and zesty drawing. :)
