for Memorial day I thought I would post some pics from a book that my Mom and Dad had , they were both artist , they tryed to explain the abstracts to me but the cartoons made more sence ,
the artist is Willam Steig , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Steig
these are from his series called " Small Fry "
No social commentary here , just some pics I fondly remember from my youth ,

They make me feel like I'm watching the kids play, from a window or something. Maybe if I was younger I'd feel a part of it.
