When I went to Manhattan just the other week for my first time I didn’t see any waves like that. Who ever is in charge of making waves *God* should make them just like your drawing. lol. I also like the lack of taxis. I mean taxis are cool and all but somehow Manhattan without the taxis looks more peaceful. But yeah I do love Manhattan.
This is such a lovely, lovely picture. I wish you’d been God, then the world would be much nicer. Not that I really believe God made it, but if you were God, I’d actually want to believe you’d made it, if it looked as gorgeous as your pictures portray it.
utterly endearing.
it reminds me of the childhood books made by richard scary minus the odd little bugs he had riding in small cars…
it makes me smile and for that, thank you.

This piece has a subtle “Fuck you Manhattan, I am too hip to subscribe to your lesser hip-ness”

Really good. Incidentally, I have been reading about the creation of the Brooklyn Bridge in the library lately. I don’t really remember many details, though…I know the original builder’s foot got crushed and he died.

Do you think someday if all three of you get some time you could do a new stella skit? Just some time, maybe?
I love these, even if you don’t have a chance to write, please keep posting your doodles.

I just wanted to say thanks for providing me with so much entertainment over the years.
In response to your drawing, the waves are a little reminiscent of “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” - Katsushika Hokusai, & yes sir I like it.
Peace

I like your manhattan more than the real one. They may as well re-name it starbucks/disney island.
I really like this one!

Hello, new desktop background.
This is such a lovely, lovely picture. I wish you’d been God, then the world would be much nicer. Not that I really believe God made it, but if you were God, I’d actually want to believe you’d made it, if it looked as gorgeous as your pictures portray it.
Where are the wordy blogs? Sorry, but they’re way more entertaining than looking at your doodles.
It’s as if a bag of Skittles attacked Manhattan…and strategically melted.
Sir.Show, you have talent!
-Rock on!

So, First of all I love the drawings, as an art student, I am jealous of your mad skills.
Secondly, Stella is on the TV right now for The Ten. I may or may not have started screaming like a giddy school girl when I saw that it was on.
So excited for Bumbershoot!
Make a wish!
I pretty much love you a lot, michael showalter.
Therese, thanks for that qualification. Now Stella can continue their “Man with a Long White Beard” sketch.
interesting
man, fill us in on your life showalter
Can we get an update one of these days man?!
