These little figures, however, are exactly the blend of sinister-sweet to give me nightmares. See that red and green man print more than halfway down the page? Terrifying. And see the green-balloon trousered ibex herder on the top line furthest right? I'm not sure about the way he's eyeballing the beastie's tail, and salute the ibex for keeping a wary eye on the little squit.
There is a world in which I buy all these and cover a wall with them, but it's the world where I fall down a lift shaft, survive by landing on my head, then buy a full-of-Nope warehouse in Portland, Oregon, and live in it til I disappear...
