April’s Fool

April 01st, 2008
“This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four.” ~ Mark Twain, Pudd’nhead Wilson, 1894

Welcome back to the blog; thanks for checking in again. We’re still plenty busy, but have posts at the ready for the coming days (I even jumped the gun with a post yesterday about baseball).

A couple years back, I did ten illustrations for Disney’s Family Fun magazine to run in their April Fools’ issue, with ideas suggested from readers of the magazine. Borrow a prank to fool a loved one today and enjoy the laughs.

I was chosen for that particular assignment as they wanted to vary the illustration styles, while still using one artist. Of course, Mary pitched in on the coloring on most. I scanned these from the printed magazine, and they still look all right. For more April Fools tricks, visit the Family Fun site.
