    This really captures the topic - simple and highly effective.

    Thanks, everyone. You’re too kind. And if you keep up the compliments you’ll only encourage more bad behavior. :)

    Just a quick note on the top illo; I’ve been prowling about in antique shops for some time snapping up old Popular Mechanics and Popular Science mags from the 60’s. There’s a gold mine of really awful, low budget ad design in these things so occasionally I’ve been re-purposing the silliest and coolest fragments of them for IF pieces. That’s where the “no-face” guy came from.

    I love both of them! The second more than the first. Perfect.
