  1. wow! i got through that whole thing just now. there's some really powerful images in there. nice juxtapositions with the text. that must have taken a ton of work. amazing to think how a cartoon - an illustration of a figment of some guys imagination - can blow up into the entire global consciousness. an image of calculated wholesomeness and an american success story wrapped up in an adorable plastic shell. its amazing to see that happy smiling face even in the such exotic and occasionally tragic scenes.

    also, that giant snow mickey is awesome

  2. that second to last sentence was supposed to read "in such exotic and occasionally tragic scenes." here's to proofreading!
