Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing little-known facts about The Mailbox family. Here’s fact number two!
All in a Day’s Work
Have you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall? Well, if you could be a fly on the wall of our art department, you’d no doubt have the giggles. That’s because our staff illustrators are routinely asked to illustrate some bizarre things, all in the interest of accurate and engaging art. I recently invited several of our illustrators to share some of their most memorable requests.
How about some animated air? Can you draw that?- What we need on this page is a really cute germ.
- Oh my! That frog needs pants!
- Okay, I know a worm doesn’t have eyes, but this worm is reading.
- Yes, this is a black-and-white page, but the grass needs to look green.
- This forest of trees doesn’t look happy. Can you fix that?
Which leads me to today’s little-known fact: Some really strange conversations take place at The Mailbox.
Smiles!

hey don’t feel bad….really strange conversations take place at our schools too…i am sure alot of teachers can vouch for that…HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
This one gave me a good laugh. But as teachers we all do strange things. I still remember the time I was in my backyard working on making dino eggs. My new neighbor walked out and saw me. I got the strangest look as I was mixing those wonderful used coffee grounds and flour all up.
My neighbor and I have had many a laugh over her early impressions of me.
