About Scewey Louie

Happy imagery of big-eyed lambs. The dish and the spoon. Little children. Dolls. Teddy bears. Ducklings. Baby bunnies. You know the score. But somehow because of the genesis of the imagery, they also manage to summon a feeling of that infamous 19th c. German language children’s book Der Struwwelpeter. Why is it such a thing?! Although, really—deservedly so. It is totally weird and awesome.
