Ice Cream Is A Journey

Ice cream is a journey, but not the one you think, according to this kid. Rather than a path filled with loss, it is an adding-on of colorful scoop after scoop that ends in abundance and sugar high. Hold your empty cones forth, friends...green flavor is on its way.  (Mint?  Kale?  Magical frog or dragon?)

Say It's Only A Paper Sun

What?
Yeah, I'm going to be here awhile, in aisle seven.
The joy radiating off these paper towels is mesmerizing.

Rainbow Twins

Me and my bro like to hang out in Cupertino.  It's not just because we dig Apple products; we also like bubble tea, and there are so many good places to go that have the popping boba.  Look, I know he's way more visible than I am.  I'm like always second fiddle, the fainter refracted band of light in the sky, hovering somewhere above him like a cautious babysitter choosing between her job and her boyfriend's incoming call.  I was super sad about that until I read about how underneath every river there's an invisible river informing the ecosystem of the one you can see.  There's a Bette Midler song for that, but I'm going to keep my cool and pretend I haven't watched Beaches about a hundred times.  Shit.  No I'm not sentimental and crying.  That's just the rain.

Ernest in Oz

Ernest is trying to understand the issues of Israel and Palestine, especially since he didn't quite follow Amos Oz's speech while attending Princeton.

Lucky Charms

Here are some totems you can carry around in order to experience great happiness! 

* A hedgehog holding two maracas with stars on them, which functions as a stamp.  The hedgehog is a Julliard-trained musician with her spines dyed golden yellow, because she enjoys lions as well as rebelling against her parents' traditional values. 

* An emotional and round blue man who does nothing but express hopefulness all the time.  He's blissed out because doubt is totally beside the point, just like pants or opposable thumbs.

* A kitten made of paper mache containing a seed that may someday be planted and grow into a mighty tree.  What she fails to say out loud sprouts leaves and drinks light.
