Ed Emberley made a bunch of books that helped me learn how to draw when I was a wee girl. He's actually been a huge influence on many artists of my generation.

I highly recommend going to see The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway. Tears were streaming down my face I was laughing so hard, and my face hurt for a week.
Here's me and P.W. in 2008. We both look much more attractive nowadays.
So there's this new book at your local bookstore and/or your local internet. I don't want to give away the ending or anything, but if you open it up, it goes a little something like this:
p.s. I was Chilly Willy for Halloween this year.
