Remember the photo of Shel Silverstein on the liner sleeve of The Giving Tree? The scary one where he’s posing with a guitar? Yeah. And what about the back of that book? Remember that swarthy bald guy with the beard? The one who looked like a thin Suge Knight? Well? Is Shel Silverstein Black or Jewish?
Click the image for a larger version of my whimsical, violent parody cover of Shel Silverstein’s perfect, beautiful book about selflessness, The Giving Tree.
If you want to see this selfish jerk get the most of what this resentful tree has to offer, please Stumble, Digg, Reddit, Facebook, Myspace and ReTweet this post. Once I get 12 trillion hits, I’ll have leverage to get an agent, do the whole book, sell it to a company that’s not afraid of parodies, and live the rest of my days making ball-busting short animated flicks like Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
