Wow, what a great idea. Even though I had read that before, I never would have thought of using it for this topic. Very cool.

Okay, maybe I'm overthinking this or my brain has just gone into complete shutdown today from lack of sleep, but I do not see an "S."

I love the illustration though. : )

Dan Santat said...

yeah, i see i missed an "S" I guess it's supposed to be 'dogs' instead of 'dog'

princesstomato said...

or i think it could be
THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG...

:)

Dan Santat said...

Princesstomato- You know, I thought of that too and then I realized I would have missed the 'D'.

Anonymous said...

You would miss the d? You mean the d from dog?Great illo!

princesstomato said...

hehehe...dan!
you would only miss the D this way if the fox jumps over the OG. :)

i love this illustration, by the way!

Wonderful illustration and the reminder of those days spent learning to type.
By the way the cursive writing of the word "Johnson" uses all the major curves needed in handwriting.

great idea for this topic and super illustration.

hey hey, looks like we thought alike this week! We even made the same mistake in the sentence... I think princesstomato is right that it should be "jumps" rather than "jumped."

Really nicely done!!

Flora Chang said...

I love the concept!! This is great!

Ken Chandler said...

Very clever! Love your layout too! Though I feel bad for the dog. When he wakes up and finds out the chickens are missing... Hooooeee!

Manelle said...

Very good idea. I love the fox.

Honor said...

Think this is my favourite this week! Very nice.

Tracy said...

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Would have never thought of doing this for this week's theme. I think this should be the pick of the week. Very beautifully done, very nostalgic. (Even without an "S"!) :)

Also, shouldn't it be alphabet and not aphabet?

IF YOU CAN'T EVEN GET THE SENTENCE RIGHT YOU ARE A COMPLETE MORON.
