Introspective Couple Pillows

Respected cartoon couple, Elmo and Merle Blinkwhistle, take a little time out each day to gather their thoughts.

"That's our house, that's Mommy going to work, and that's you, staring out the window, wondering where it all went wrong."

"Let me slip into something a little more thoughtful."

"Talking to your own reflection? Even your imagination is pathetic."

"Oh good, more time alone for quiet reflection."

"Hey! If you're here to marvel at the smallness of your existence within a glorious, vast and unknowable universe, there's a line!"

"Wait... what was it I came up here for?"

"Existentialist Trail. Get lost then found. Nietzsche Park System"

'Betty liked the way her house provided lots of private space.'

"Sometimes I like to come here by myself and contemplate ... or just scream about you."

"Then one day, as I caught a tennis ball in midair, I asked myself, 'Is this all there is?'"

Trilby - 'The old studio'.

That midnight hour when fleeting memories come home to roost.

"I feel like there's a chick in me trying to escape."

A Poem about Sand

I wonder what they're moaning about right now?

'Funny, I thought a near-death experience would be different, somehow.'

"Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy..."

"So why do you think it's so hard to let others in?"

Reflection (with bubbles)

"What if anxiety is hereditary?"

"Maybe it's O.K. for an hour or two, but, holy smoke,a whole weekend on the edge of awareness?"

"Last night I dreamed I caught my tail."

"Is it just me, right, is it just me ...?"

"Wonder if there's something wrong with you? Reality is for us all it's true..."

"Cops don't get me. Sure, they got me – but they'll ever get me."
