Nesting Dolls by Willard.

And a few more links:

1. Mom insists daughters, age 23 and 18, continue to have annual photo taken with mall santa (photo link). Via.

Here's a few more random links:

1. When Roger Ebert told his mom that he'd won the Pulitzer Prize, she responded "Oh, honey, does it pay anything?"


2. Draw a comic strip depicting a medical operation, win a copy of Tezuka's Black Jack. For inspiration, here's Black Jack operating on a whale.
