At one point, either feeling pity for Guy, or a desire to draw someone else's ideas, I wound up illustrating one of his stories while sitting at my desk at work. I stretched about a paragraph worth of story into 16 illustrations. The story is pretty odd, and I left the grammar and punctuation alone, which I pasted up into the illustrations zine-style:

This part requires a little group participation: in the comments below, write one line that can be illustrated. (example: Monkey removing training wheels from a bicycle.) I will take the first ten that are posted, sketch them up, and post them. The one that I like the best (or maybe we'll put it to a vote) I'll turn into a painting, and the person who posted that idea gets the painting for free! Get to it!!
