The Illustrated Abecedarian

Herewith is my Illustrated Abecedarian Series. A curious collection of illustrations created at a time of equilibrium, punctuated by a torrid and tantalizing tryst that terminated in torture, finally resolved. The ebbs and tide of emotions are not meant for one who prefers mental connections and reads a dictionary at lunchtime. What the heck is she saying? Who knows? Meaningless mumbo-jumbo, give it your own interpretation. Go read a dictionary. Have a great week!
