As you’ve probably noticed if you check in here regularly, we’re back to posting a weekly auction item. The idea is that every other week one will be more kid-oriented (Bobbledy) in nature and one will be more tuned to the sensibilities of the Idiots’ crowd. But I’ll post the kid illos here too, in case any of you 1) are kids, 2) have kids, 3) have a kid-like sensibility. We suspect that a good chunk of you must fall into category three or else you would have given up on this blog long ago.

Plus, Robbi’s twisted creative leprechaun is such that even her stuff for kids is seldom purely sweet or affirming. As in the case of this week’s auction item.

The illustration was created as a prompt for our biweekly Bobbledy writing prompt series, in which we ask kids to name an illustration and then write the story that comes to mind when they look at it.

Here is the post with all the kids’ stories (if you don’t know, kids have amazing, odd brains), but here is our favorite of the batch, by a kid named Simon.

Somebody Bent Him

He’s being sad all day long. The pizza’s name should be Peter Sam. It does have a family: the family always is happy. The mommy, the daddy, two  brothers, and four sisters. He’s sad because he’s bent. Somebody just bent him.

If you are inspired by Robbi’s bent, demoralized pizza, it can currently be had over on Ebay for only 2 cents. Perhaps the bidding will heat up at some point, but perhaps not. Perhaps this pizza is just too sad.
