EN EM AITCH

My daughter was looking over my eBay watch list the other day.

She skimmed past the usual suspects-- Be@rbricks, 1971 Mets' cards in NM-MT condition, 7” singles-- and stopped at one particular item.

“What's that?”

It was a drawing by Jeff Mangum.

I explained how much I wanted one, but told her that the last one I saw sold for over $400.

“Can I see it closer?”

She put her elbows on the desk, pushed her nose toward the monitor, and considered the drawing.

“Is it so popular because he can draw like a kid?”

That's it exactly, dear. Exactly.
