Usually, I write something and then Robbi illustrates it. Not so with Martin and Gorsk.

That’s what she drew. Here’s what I wrote.

In spite of stellar 20/20/20 vision, the brothers Van der Graaf suffered from a stunning lack of insight. Within twenty minutes of arriving at the party, Martin was married to an ill-upholstered armchair and Gorsk had eaten the better part of a bowl of popourri before deciding he was full.

If you are as enamored of these two gentlemen as am I, we have just posted them for auction on Ebay. Bidding ends next Monday (March 4)  at 12:30EST.

Note that these are two separate illustrations, strikingly similar in style (if not in affect) to the portraits in our very first Idiots’Book, Facial Features of French Explorers. If you are so inspired, they might be hung on a wall in separate frames or else placed in a single frame with two holes in the mat. Or placed in a bird cage to inspire fear. Suit yourself.

And happy bidding!
