This image has a very contained feel. No swinging for the fences
here,... rather we have a competent, workmanly basehit.
The stylization is borrowed from childrens literature, specifically Dr.
Seuss. The smoothed, generalized handling carries throughout the
picture giving toylike sense to world portrayed. It has the slightly
campy effect of showing familiar aspects of our own world parodied in an
analogue, cartoon world.

This was one of my personal favorites, but then, I've always been a sucker
for Dr Seuss....
I had actually thought of doing a Seuss-like image for the round, not
necessarily from a specific story, but just using his style, but decided
I'd never finish it in time.
