Iron Giant, the story that Ted hughes (?) wrote to console his children
after
their mother, Sylvia Platt, killed herself.  Among other things, sad
events
involving depressed authors inspired a one-off t-shirt that a friend of
mine
wears, occassionally.  On the front and back are tasteless caricatures,
with the

Hopefully
the images stirred up by the captions are at least as funny as the
drawings, as I
