On the other hand, art IS the most amazing thing in the world!!! Reading up on some kid, I found THIS gem: Phobies des moments seuls (le journal du docteur Marcus Pigeon) a sailor's log in a complexly built universe focussing on a crazy rambunctious captain/scientist... in space. The images that accompany the text are equally fabulous [insert heart emoticon here].
Also, the world gave us much richness when it sprouted beautiful peas.
