That doesn't look anything like a turkey.

We regularly ordered takeout from Baluchi's when we lived in the West Village. Delicious but immoderately rich food, laden with lots of artery-clogging heavy cream.

I'm guessing you can't imagine it because you're a jackass. Let's hope that no one callously blames the victim if something similarly tragic and undeserved should happen to you, (and it shouldn't).

If you resent occasionally sharing the sidewalk with cyclists, you should support the spread and enforcement of bike lanes, congestion pricing, and any other effort to make the streets safer for cyclists. I always prefer to ride in the street, but at certain intersections, (where the motorists like to pretend they're starring in Death Race 2000), the cyclist's choice is either a quick hop on the sidewalk or death.

I actually think the type looks cool. If you stick with the current design, I'd make that flea brown, to match the type, or maybe have the flea in white and drop him onto a brown oval or half circle. Right now, the type and the flea doodle feel disconnected.

A poster that mimics a circus poster sounds like lots of fun, maybe with a lion tamer gal holding a flaming hoop with an enormous cartoon flea jumping through. Then again, I wonder if it might leave some viewers confused, ("hey, are we going to a circus or a flea market here?").

(thanks for the compliment, guest!)

The flea with a hobo's bindle is cute, although I think the drawing could use a little slicking-up. I'm an illustrator; drop me a line if you'd like to try something a bit more polished.
