Continuing on my book illustration per chapter collection for The Invisible Mail updates! I couldn't find anything for Chapter 2 and next to nothing for Chapter 3, so skipping to Chapter 4 it is.

First, we have Teddy Henley getting jump scared because this SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER was walking around town WITH HIS HAT OFF...the scandal...

I think this one is of whenever Griffin goes outdoors and gets people whistling The Bogey Man song at him before running away, but there's quite a few scenes it could fit. Either way, I love the spooky coat. It's giving Charon Hadesgame.

(Pretty sure this is from the Great Illustrated Classics version)

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ONE SENDS ME. All the kids in the back just fucking delighted at this weird spooky magic trick while the ones in the front run screaming. I still think the kids should have teamed up with him to prank the villagers until the end of time. "I got your nose" would have been only the start...

AND SPEAKING OF WHICH!!!

THERE IT IS. MY FAVORITE SILLY SCENE IN THE WHOLE GODDAMN BOOK. If I were invisible and a little unhinged this is the kind of shit I would be pulling CONSTANTLY, Griffin is an icon for this

a thank you to @no-side-us for finding most of these illustrations!
