The Gashlycrumb Tinies.  The full alphabet set can be found on fuddytv.com but here are a few of the most bizarre  (via fuddytv.com)

I’ll admit to the creepiness but still find it a pretty nice idea. And wouldn’t it be awesome to live on as a maple tree, maybe the most awesome of trees…?

I often wake up in the morning thinking about it. Maybe because I can’t have dairy…or because it’s so awesome that I can still taste it from last time I made it (which was back in 2010, in my other, ‘pre-baby’ life)…

I applaud you kind Sir. Bravo!
