   A pop-up!! Oh, Wil, this is wonderful!

   Wil! Wil! Watch out! Godzilla’s creeping up on you!

   Y’all, look at this large image of Wil’s pop-up here on Flickr.

   Watch out! Godzilla’s creeping up on you! That’s not Godzilla–it’s Tracy’s punching Uncle Sam toy sidling up.

   Uncle Sam in a Godzilla suit.

   That is delightful.

   Absolutely marvelous. (And there is money to be made from pop-ups, too.) Of course this piece, apparently permanently installed “open” in the sketch book, is more lovely to me than pop-ups generally are. Bravo.

    Thanks!

    Godzilla is guarding a wee diagram explaining border, margin and padding (I can never remember)

    Cooper who was Alan Coren?

    I’m sorry. I keep coming back to this and hoping to come up with something clever to add but I can’t.

    This is just fucking brilliant.

    There, I’ve said it.

    Quite a gift you have.

    Hey, Will, Sheila tipped me off that you had asked me, in earlier comments to comments, who Alan Coren is? I hope I haven’t misremembered the name. The artist I’m thinking of illustrated Susan Cooper’s The Dark Is Rising (1973), illustrations which impressed me enough that I still recall them and am reminded of your work.

    SORRY! It’s Alan Cober, not Coren! Alan Coren is somebody else. Alan Cober. Fine illustrator.

    terrific, don’t know how this one slipped by me, but what a great surprise and pleasure it is to discover it belatedly
