Artist's Comments

Awhile ago I read an article about a retro Sesame Street DVD that was about to release. The article explained the DVD would have a parental advisory placed on the front. Skits such as the old Masterpiece Theater Cookie Monster are no longer aired on PBS as it shows him smoking a pipe. This along with other skits are no longer considered wholesome entertainment for kids. Big Bird cannot question reality with visions of a brown fuzzy elephants. Kids can no longer make fun of Oscar because he is manic. Bert and Ernie and their questionable living arrangements has been toned down. Sure enough as i was wondering through Best Buy a couple of months ago the DVD was there and it did warn me of the questionable content. My TV entertainment consciousness began with Sesame Street, as did most people my age. The thought behind these drawings was the idea of taking all these bad characteristics of the old Sesame Street and redesigning the looks accordingly.

....parental advisory..... jeez....the world's gone soft. 9.9 Anyway, this caught my eye on the main page under "Deviations listed in the last 24 Seconds" and stood out over all the rest. Probably because it's the Count....whom, in spite of being a vampire, was always fun and safe. (The "Batty-batty-bat!" song still gets stuck in my head from time to time...) He looks a little less safe here...

Very well done. *faves and checks out the rest of your gallery!*
