Here is my representation of Sadie and Stanislaus, brother and sister, having a heated argument about traditional gender roles in 1922 Poland.
Sheila, relax. Go outside and play. Seriously. You’re 12.

Does Stanislaus have a phantom limb? That’s hot.
This illustration looks like an outtake from Newsies.
He does!!! hahaha – I hadn’t even noticed that – what the hell is going on there???
um, i hate to say it, but this WAS going outside and playing for you.
These are such practically shoed, in fact clothed children – the pinafore w/ petticoat, the hat and breeches, those sensible shoes – what’s with that?!
1922! Poland! Small urchin children! No time for play or frivolity!
What’s on the floor under the bed?
If it’s her blanket, then I do not understand why Sadie would kick the covers off if it’s so dern freezing in Warsaw (and also there appears to be a pane of missing glass in the window).
Bren – hahahaha so true. It’s still true.
Why is there a floating eyeball on the right there watching them? A floating eyeball with a crown.
What IS that??
Tracey – hahahahahahahaha a floating eyeball with a crown!!!!! That is the hole in my notebook – but now all I can see is a floating eyeball with a crown. Is that the encroaching Fascist menace that is coming towards Poland? A foreshadowing of the Soviet domination that they will need to escape?
It’s all very ominous. Maybe it’s the spirit of the high rates leering doom at them.
Shiver.
Ha! I saw that yesterday, Tracey, and thought it was Tom Petty’s left eye(he’s wearing shades). Tom Petty is living in Sheila’s scanner. I figured that was too crazy, even for me, to put in a comment.
Oh my God, now all I can see is Tom Petty’s eyeball. It took me a second to see it – and now it is haunting me – that is hilarious!!!
