Fantastic!

I have no idea what it means, but it's awesome nonetheless.

Wow. I've never been turned into a cartoon before (not even one of those Great Adventure/Jersey Boardwalk deals where they draw an enormous head on top of a puny body). I'm honored, I think.

Nice work, Rainer.

Thanks, KTB.  I was just having fun making connections between Ian Curtis (Peter Saville's mountains, the title of that hit Joy Division song) and earnest arthouse stars (Herzog and  Lukas Moodysson, director of "Together", one of Mike's weird movie recommendations to Tom).  When I saw that the artwork for the domestic DVD release of Stroszek included that strong American Flag motif, I just couldn't resist putting Tom there ...

Wow. I've never been turned into a cartoon before. I'm honored, I think.

Mike, you are a supremely good sport.  My hand doesn't always (ever) do what I want it to do when I'm drawing.  If it gave you a chuckle or two, I'm satisfied.
