Phantom Tollbooth Illo

February 14th, 2010 · 2 Comments

I was cleaning out my hard drive when I stumbled upon this project I completed for a children’s literature class. I think the exercise was to creatively present themes, etc. found in a classic kids book — an exercise an instructor would likely assign to a group of 4th, 5th or 6th graders. Hence all that verbiage around the drawering. Ignore that. Just look at the funny picture. I love that book.

    Haha!

    No, it’s The Humbug. Here’s the character description from SparkNotes:

    The Humbug is an insect who lives only to flatter people—especially himself. The Humbug is ignorant about everything from math to geography and proves himself the fool by his constant attempts to say intelligent things. After trying to brown-nose his way to favor with King Azaz, he accompanies Milo and Tock on their journey.
