#2: Anyone as angry as O’Reilly does have serious issues. Period.

#3: Fozzy has a crush on Miss Piggie, and this image depicts how he perceives Kermits ability to win her affection. Don’t give up, Fozzy!

don, i just saw you at the echo conference like a month ago. so i heard what you said about story. then i came home and my 13 year old son had a small melt down one afternoon. we’re sitting on the deck talking it through God brings back the idea the character. my husband and i talk with tanner about what kind of character he is and what’s going on in his movie. what had God written on your heart? what’s His dream for the scene? what kind of character do you want to be? write it in, write it in, let Jesus write it in!!! we say…

i just wanted to say thank you. i think you gave a 13 year old a whole new lens through which to view what he had formerly considered just fits of chaos and then sometimes peace. you mean a lot to us! you really do.

So Don’s got a new book coming out sometime soon, it should have come out by now but he’s been slacking (riding his bike around or something) and we’ve still got awhile ’till it comes out, so, Barak, you should design the cover of Don’s new book! With your mad cartoon-drawing skills.

Let me know what you think. And try to get us a rough draft of that or something sometime Don so we can give our opinion and let Barak know what we think.

Just an idea. A random idea. Out of nowhere.

The Segway vehicle and overweight appearance of the character is a testament to our indulgence.

#2 Oh, Really O’Reilly?
A bit obvious and easy. A man who loves sensation and bullied confrontation is not a lover of truth is most likely a very insecure man. The over-exaggeration is shown in the common image of a fragile man, crying like a child hugging a secure and stable icon of times better and goneby

#3 Sesame Doping
This one conveyed our steroid problem, even before i noticed the image name. It could simply be a fun image, using classic American pop culture icons (Kermit the Frog and Fozzie the Bear, Muppets). But there could also be a deeper meaning….

the idea that doping up can even branch find its way to the innocent and untouched. “good ol’ fashioned” hard work and determination represented by the classic, clean pop icons have been corrupted by an unnatural element. Interestingly, Kermit still retains his good-guy smile, sitting on a ledge, seemingly oblivious to his abnormal condition. He’s just doing a new thing, something everybody’s doing nowadays. Maybe it’s also reflective of the idea that most people think ‘cutting corners’ and ‘bending the rules’ is an absolute necessity in life to get ahead or stay ahead.

the sadness in the image might be reflected in Fozzie’s character – Kermit’s best friend peeks from behind the ledge, worried, unsure, and perhaps afraid of what has become of his good friend.

i’m just sayin…

Forgive me for putting your artwork online. I know you only sent it to me and didn’t intend for it to be shared with the world. That said, however, I think your artwork should belong to all of us. I will keep it up, although against your will.

I am glad you got another plane, Barak. But how do you keep affording so many of them? And who is this other Barak Hardley, the actor, and why do his drawings look so much like yours? Tell Cheaver and Wooly I say hello, would you? I haven’t seen them since that lawn-dart incident in the Hamptons. I hope his dogs eye has healed.

Best,

Scout
