Peter and Jane: the Lost Episodes Artist Jon Bentley revisits images from his youth.
This is great. I particularly like the giant crab.

My parents share their names with the USA version of Peter and Jane (here it was "Dick and Jane"). If they were more into sci-fi they would be ALL OVER something like this.

Miriam likes to make fun of Dick and Jane too.
She makes pictures a but like Jon's - but not quite as funny.
(And not suitable for mummy or daddy's office at all!)
It makes Penguin feel sad.

I quite like these; it sort of feels like if Mark Ryden had added dialogue to his works.

love, love, love.
Although I do have a hard time with the terrible punctuation. My money, of course, is on dyslexia.
Not that it matters; some of my best friends are dyslexical.

I've always been a fan of this sort of thing. Although my school used Janet and Mark, I assume because it was integrated.
Yiddish with Dick and Jane
I absolutely LOVE this one, I own it, and treasure it.

I was trying to work out if the awful spelling and punctuation were part of the joke, or just awful spelling and punctuation. I'm pretty sure it's the latter.
