Hey, hey, hey! It's Mr. Happy Brain!

So, the illustration is out! And they printed it in colour twice, even letting it cover up some of the masthead! Pretty good for an anthropomorphized internal organ.

Actually, I think he looks like a new McDonald's-land character. Call him the Spungiform Encephalofagus. For those who like to eat dangerously! (Probably Albertans.)

Originally, I had the kid on the right poking him in the Medulla Oblongata with a stick. But that's too cruel. Happy Brain Awareness Week! Better give them a link, so you know what events to attend.

Yes, and my News Brief on Yulblog's 5th Anniversary is coming out in HOUR next week. Had to cut out all the interesting anecdotal stuff to make room for explaining what a blog was. Of course, I know people reading this would be happy if I printed a list with their name and their blog on it, but that's the awesome power of being a journalist. Where would Mr. Happy Brain be if I wasn't out there getting his face in the papers?

Actually, I dig the French title, La Cerveau en Tete. Where would it be if it wasn't? Probably being tossed about by a lot of schoolchildren! Wish I could post the pictures, but I'm not gonna. They look like a lot of beaming, uniformed Hannibal Lecters at work.
