At the beginning of summer vacation a funny idea zoomed into my head at warp speed. I'm just now getting around to bringing it to life... it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Popped this baby out in less than an hour.
I am a huge fan of Top Chef. I am also a huge fan of Dr. Seuss. I realized that Carla's hair looks a lot like the puffball that Horton carries around. There was also an episode of Top Chef in which the viewers learn that while grocery shopping, Carla and her husband use a primitive tracking device called the "Hoodie Hoo". When they are trying to locate each other, one says "Hoodie" and the other answers back "Hoo". It's like Marco Polo for the supermarket! Needless to say, after a cranial lightning strike, Horton Hears a Hoodie Who was born.
Quickly I found a reference picture of Horton and Carla online, printed them out and let them simmer on my desk for about two or three weeks. One boring night (tonight), I warmed up ol' righty and busted it out. I LOVE it!
I'm going to be brave and submit it to TeeFury to see if they'll print it on shirts. That would rock so much if they did!
