Monster of the Day #476

Hummm…These porta-Jhons need work.

Looks like Ken is throwing us curve balls when we guess where he’s going, pic wise.;)

Well, there’s a reason he would’ve chosen this for today, unrelated to any theme he may have had going.

I advise everyone to look up Stephen Colbert’s recent interview with Mr. Sendak.  Pretty funny stuff.

I didn’t care for it either.  For me monsters needed to be either reptiles, invertebrates or some kind of whacky alien design to interest me.

Ooooh. Finally saw the obit.
Yeah, never saw it when young, didn’t feel any interest. Nothing against the man.

Really guys? I loved the illustrations as a kid but can’t say I remember anything of the books plot though.  

I haven’t seen it.  I liked the book, though.  I think my love of Sesame Street made monsters that weren’t horrifying seem fine to me.

I haven’t read most of his other things, and now feel like I should.

…plot?  Kid runs away, plays with monsters, misses his home, goes home.  Not much plot, but I loved it as a kid, especially the deciding if it was all his imagination or real.  Part of the reason I loved Calvin and Hobbes: that blending of realities.

Ahhh, that explains why I don’t remember it then!
