Jack - The Blog Post

Dear Jack,

There is this move, Spaceballs which is a parody of Star Wars and a bunch of other 70's and 80's sci-fi movies. In it, one of the characters is showing off the merchandising for the movie. He holds up various items and names them, "Spaceballs the T-shirt. Spaceballs the lunchbox. Spaceballs the coloring book." I think he then holds up a flamethrower, but that's just the kind of movie it is.

Anyway, I made Jack - the mural for your birthday party and it made me so very sad that I had to take it down and Jack - the photograph of the mural just isn't as satisfying.

So I decided to make Jack - the coffee mug.

The house that Jack built, Jack and the beanstalk and Jack o' Latern on one side.

(You can kind of see the edge of the hill that Jack and Jill tumbled down from the middle of the mug.) Then jack-in-the-box, Jack be Nimble, Apple Jack (cereal), Little Jack Horner, CrackerJacks, and Colby Jack cheese on the picnic with Jack Frost in the air.

It makes me want Jack - the T-shirt, Jack - the lunchbox, and Jack - the coloring book myself.

Love,
Mom
