These images from textbooks and
other "retro" sources are
both charming and weird. It is
fascinating to wonder about the
artists and the circumstances that
led to the creation of
these pictures. Of all the
things you could draw, why
this?
Please submit goofy pictures and/or school-
appropriate captions
to me via email or
on paper, and I would sure enjoy
posting the creative and
hilarious ones. Any visitor to
these pages may submit---include
your real name and where you are from.
