The school of fantastical realism. I love children's drawings.

I apologize that I have not read the book yet...but is there really a flying, pooping camel?
***wonders whether to put it on son's Xmas list or on the 'do not buy under any circumstances' list***
***realizes that if true, the pooping camel is probably very funny, and son will love it even though mom won't***

If I were you, Dave & Ridley, I'd ditch your old illustrator and hire Emma. (I bet you can pay her in "My Little Ponies")

And yes, I still really love frosting. So, for today, the monniker stays.

OT/ Baby Sadie comes home from the hospital tomorrow! Her first official act as blog-baby (after pooping herself) will be to post her first comment on the blog! Look for what I'm sure will be mature and inspiring words from my genius newborn, tomorrow afternoon!

Yay, Punkin!
Posted by: Hammond Rye | November 15, 2007 at 09:24 AM
Yaaaay Punkin!
*we're supposed to poop ourselves first?! dang, missed that memo*
Posted by: fivver | November 15, 2007 at 09:24 AM
fivver - First, or during...as long as it gets done. We don't keep anything bottle up inside, here.
Posted by: Punkin "really loves frosting" Poo | November 15, 2007 at 09:26 AM
Yay for Sadie coming HOME, Punkin!!! Have there been more pictures that I've missed?? We will, of course, insist on new ones at least every day, please. As our newest blog-baby's mommy, you have a responsibility!
Posted by: sthnbelle | November 15, 2007 at 09:27 AM
Punkin, no offense, but if Sadie sees a pooping camel and your blogname as presently constituted, I'm not sure you'll want to live with the results.
Congrats on the homecoming!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 15, 2007 at 09:42 AM
yes viginia, there is a flying pooping camel.
Posted by: mudstuffin | November 15, 2007 at 09:44 AM
As I said earlier, Punkin...
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
And Congrats to Emma and her very inspiring illustration. I see a future in the Arts....or in collecting camel poop. Still, a great future.

Hypothesis 1: A depiction of events in the book.
Hypothesis 2: (given that the person in the bottom right corner has on a blue shirt) A literary criticism.
Hypothesis 4: The kid likes flying, pooping camels. (and who doesn't)
Posted by: Hammond Rye | November 15, 2007 at 09:51 AM
Better than a flying pooping elephant.

Posted by: crossgirl | November 15, 2007 at 09:55 AM
Hooray Emma!
Dave, I think you and Ridley have missed a unique marketing opportunity. I suggest using a poster size version of the drawing for the rest of your strumpets. Perhaps you could even make that the cover for the paperback edition.
We were waiting for the school library copy, but maybe I'll pick up the book on the way home. For my daughter of course...

Start the bidding at one million dollars! How cute!
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | November 15, 2007 at 10:05 AM
For Hammie & Siouxie.

"Emma and the Flying Pooping Camels" would be an excellent name for a teenybopper punk band.
Posted by: Chris | November 15, 2007 at 10:07 AM
Congrats to the punkin patch.
*looks in the sky for flyin' camels*

AA - I'll pass and leave the frosting for Punkin and the other bloggettes.
Posted by: ScottMGS | November 15, 2007 at 10:17 AM
young emma a nice picture drew
of a fictional camel that flew
the blog had inspired her
and everyone admired her
depiction of flying camel poo
Posted by: mudstuffin | November 15, 2007 at 10:19 AM
Animal crappers in my soup
Camels and snakes and falling poop
Gosh I'll need a bigger spoon
Are these the secrets of Rundoon?
Trying to savor every word
But then here comes a dropping turd
Why won't that camel fly the coop?
Animal crappers in my soup

"Baby Sadie comes home from the hospital tomorrow! Her first official act as blog-baby (after pooping herself) will be to post her first comment on the blog!"
Punkin - I have some extra chocolate icing if you'd like to commemorate that in some way. (I'm referring to the "First Poop," of course.)
Posted by: marytheblogkidsmom | November 15, 2007 at 10:25 AM
ROFL SW!!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 15, 2007 at 10:39 AM

Posted by: Siouxie | November 15, 2007 at 10:47 AM
YAY for Sadie! Heartfelt congrats Punkin!
That's some mighty fine work there, Emma.
Posted by: casey | November 15, 2007 at 11:08 AM
Mary - Thanks! (Will never look at choc. frosting quite the same way again!)
Posted by: Punkin "really loves vanilla frosting" Poo | November 15, 2007 at 11:30 AM
Yay, Emma! Fantastic picture. That's almost exactly how I imagined that scene when I read the book!
And YAY Punkin and the Sprout! Can't wait to read her first post!
Posted by: Kristie | November 15, 2007 at 12:07 PM
