Advertisement from the early part of the 20th century, easily pre 1920, since the telephone number only has three digits! (The back simply has the customers address in Massena, NY)
Found in a copy of "Modern Book-Keeping", J.L. Montgomery, 1902 edition

Behold thou art fair, my beloved, behold thou art fair..let me see thy face, let me hear thy voice. For thy voice is harmonious and thy face enchanting, thou has ravished my heart...thy lips drop as the honeycomb....thy palate a heady wine that goes straight to my love and flows over my lips and teeth....

I'm not getting into The Giving Tree discourse...
#personal#delete later#idk i just saw a post of the “alternate ending” comic on my dash and everyone praising it as an improvement and “fixing” the original#which i kinda resent#while tulli and i was taking my nephew to a book store we walked around the kids section and found the giving tree and we read through it#and i was so stricken by how profoundly sad it is. it's not a happy story#in the end both versions tell the exact same lesson. but one flat out tells you and the other makes you sit with a pit in your stomach#and work to find the answer#i dunno it's kids literature but kids literature is important. i don't wanna discredit anyone's bad memories with the book but also i think#sometimes it's ok to make kids a bit sad and upset with fiction.#tweet that goes “what if romeo and juliet didn't kill themselves and explained to the audience that family feuds are bad”#idk you can't seriously read the original book as an adult and say it's glorifying self-martyrdom#when the final drawing of the book is of an old tired man sitting on arotting stump with his hat fallen to the ground#again i don't wanna invalidate people's feelings if they enjoy the alt version i think it's really nice too. but the original has its#purpose too. imagine if at the end of the lorax they show that the boy did it and replanted the world happy ending#wait they did that in the movie shit#i dunno i just love somber children's literature. tulli and i are talking about moomin right now and how the series ends with the moomin#family just leaving. and nobody gets to say goodbye to them. their friends have to find ways to live with the emptiness they've left behin

Finally finished this huge piece! Took ~14h in total 😮‍💨 But I think it was worth it! 🙌🏻
Had a lot of fun drawing my fave Rafayel from the game loveanddeepspace once more 💁‍♀️ AND with the long hair again 😌 Really pleased that I managed to pull both his and Sylus’s card yesterday

Lo and behold! My grandma's complete collection of Granada Holmes! She's the person who introduced me to it (at age 7 or 8) practically watched it over and over with me, borrowed me the og acd books and made me learn english (you could watch it either in english with subtitles or shitty polish dabing. We are not polish.)
Ain't they precious?

When I was 13-14 I had just come to terms with the fact that I was attracted to women, but I was very closeted and so I would try to “cleverly” hide my true feelings in my drawings. I really though writing “cat suits are never not not not going to never not be not not hot” would somehow throw people off the trail of what I was trying to say. Same with writing “girls with guns,” (and then, in tiny letters) “are hot” would keep people from realizing I’m a homo. Truly one of my baby gay moments of all time
