The other day I picked up an envelope from Le Gristaire. It wasn't for me, it was for that rock star Mère Ubu (I know there is also a Père UHU walking around, laugh!). She doesn't live here anymore but I bumped into her at the supermarket today, she says thanks!

The comic "Whistler's mother in law"refers to the painting where Whistler depicts his own mother (below). Artist or no artist, she looks like the archetypal mother in law to me. An angel, surely :-))
I just noticed that it is hidden of the photo, but Grigori is now embracing the italian artist G.A.Cavellini. His new stamp says "adhesive over talent" :-)) I'll post a picture later on.

 

What else do we have... let's see... Oh, an ass and pad on, final destination E! Cool, I'll pad on. Or Mère Ubu will.

 

The Pièce de Résistance was found on the "inside side" of the envelope though, I had to tear open. A collage/drawing over the whole wall of the envelope. I don't know what you think, but this style looks somehow familiar to me. The Klondike bear, I've met him before. For sure. The woman on the perfume add, I might have met her too. The crosswords grid.... words, wordplay, most likely on a daily basis, yes.
Grigori, this is deliciously cryptic. I think can I see where you're coming from, but as usual, I can never be completely sure, and that's the fun part of it. Merci Père Grigstaire, this was a great envelope!

Yes but not for heroines.

BUT Heart Matters????

Groot!! Oui c'est vrai. You're right, heros always win in the end. DW might look a trifle pale without kidneys, but he'll be alright. Heroines don't even need a heart. Toxis can count its days!!

All heroines survive nes pa? And heros's I guess - with or without kidneys.  Do we actually NEED them here? No
Comment by Marie Wintzer on June 22, 2011 at 4:37am
Aw, DW can live without any kidney.

You weren't cured of TOXIS. You're in a pickle again. And now DW only has one kidney. You want to go through this again?
