After the other bunny clip, I just had to clip this one!
It is just incredible what is in an artist's eye. Who would EVER think that something so sweet could be made of such nasty contents. UGH !
The next time I see some character digging in the ashtrays outside the store, I'll remember this story, and wonder.
