hyperbole is an understatement

(...i think someone is stalking my dogs)

there's this really great blog called hyperbole and a half. he introduced it to me, and i can't get enough of it, for two reasons: for one, it's the most hilarious thing i've ever read and seen... her illustrations are simplistically genius. for two, i feel like her dogs are the long lost twins of my dogs, and it's hilarious and somewhat creepy that there are more than one myla and jola in this world. let me show you the spitting images....

exhibit a: allie's dog, named simply, "the simple dog":

my "simple dog", myla:

exhibit b: the "simple dog" and the "helper dog", according to allie:

my "helper" and "simple" dogs:

exhibit c: the happy and tinkling "simple dog":

my happy and tinkling simple dog (look closely):

exhibit d: "simple dog" gets comfortable:

my simple dog finds her safe, comfy spots:

exhibit e: "simple dog" likes to move:

my simple dog doesn't still still. even in a sandwich.

and, as an ode to the illustrator/author of dear hyperbole, i created a cake pop in her honor:

allie's rendition of herself:

my (cakey) rendition of allie:

thank you, dear allie, for your writing and your pictures. you make my life happy :)
