Dear Jane and Alison,

I just picked up my Weekly Reader in order 2 C what Galleries I will B checking out tonight & was just flabbergasted ENUF 2 write & kommend U on the terrific Scottie dog–COW-lossal Takeoff your select artists did for this issue [August 6]. I love ALL Animals but am partial to Cats, being born a Leo with my birthday falling on Monday, but all these Scotties got so much PURR-sonality! Whose idea was it? Give that guy or gal or team a Bone! It’s bone-a-fide ART & it’s inspired me so much I am going 2 tear them out of the paper, hoard a bunch of them 2 save, & then rubber cement them down on paper & mail them as a Deluxe Scottie Scrapbook 2 my small & grateful Niece in LA-LA Land! Then, after that Project is done, I am going 2 draw my own since I’ve developed a Pen & Ink style that I use for all my Kids’ Books & Encyclopedias!
