Obviously he/she isn't aware that We Canajuns don't USE dollar bills anymore. Hence, an attempt to reproduce a Loonie (aka the Canadian $1 coin) was quickly made. Whoever made the flame follow-up ALSO doesn't know about the Loonie, or he/she tried to figure out what the H*** that funny blob was. (I can kinda get a one-eyed mummy with a Big nose and a flat mouth out of it if I squint ...) In relation to the original Art: I think it was an appropriate (and funny) response to the original post. In relation to the flame: A bit harsh, don't you think? But I see your point :-) Question: Does anyone out there have a larger, and somewhat more accurate representation of the Canadian Loonie. (or can someone, who knows what they really look like, make one? ) I'd be interested in seeing such a beast.
