    Pretty cool how it circles back to the lady who started it all. Can’t tell if that’s a “Who, me?!” look or an “Oh, shit…” one.

    Edit: Been a while since I took some time to look at a Rockwell. Really took this one in and man, that guy was really something at capturing people. These people are caricatures…sorta. Even the last guy with the black hat looks like a braying donkey with almost-pointed ears. The hair, faces, expressions…they’re all amazingly stylized yet you can see exactly what that person would look like in real life. I’m sure he saw these people on the street or in the course of his days.
