There are other versions of the same scene with different buttons, so there’s likely a “color by button” pattern book out there somewhere.

One Beautiful Spring Day
“During the course of creating the 100 pages that brought ONE BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY into existence I redrew a number of pages several times. In the case of the drawing here I drew this large 2-page spread no less than three times. Why? Because of the aerial elements. The plummeting ball with the twisting smoke was too literal, having been foreshadowed in a way intended to be symbolic. The other objects in the air had too much personality, which raised unwanted questions; and there weren’t enough background explosions. In short these’s nothing at all wrong with this drawing; in fact in some ways it’s the best of the three. But it wasn’t exactly matched to its connecting moments, so I re-drew it.” -Jim Woodring, india ink on bristol, 18.75″ x 12.25″, 2020.

Homunculus Loxodontus
Homunculus Loxodontus is also known as Zhdun, “The One Who Waits”, Snorp, Wosh and Ждун.
The Leiden University Medical Center originally awarded artist Margriet Van Brevoort a grant to create the sculpture for an annual art competition held by the Leiden Sculpture Foundation, where the sculptural theme for 2016 competition was biological sciences. Brevoort did not want to depict something related to the grim side of medicine or disease, and instead focused on the patients, ordinary people waiting to see a doctor for a diagnosis. According to her, the sculpture meant to convey the message that “you should calmly wait for diagnosis with hope for the best”.

The Outbursts of Everett True
The Outbursts of Everett True was an American two-panel newspaper comic strip created by A.D. Condo and J. W. Raper that ran from July 22, 1905 to January 13, 1927. It followed this setup:
Panel 1: Someone annoys Everett True.
Panel 2: He yells at and/or physically punishes whoever annoyed him.
Everett True also stood up for those who were being bullied, and often received smiles of approval from nearby observers. His wife never put up with his belligerence, and would hurl pots, pans and sometimes his supper at him if he mouthed off at home.
