Farmer Brown, by Darwyn

The other day Darwyn drew a picture of "Farmer Brown", the subject of a Calvin and Hobbes strip she saw.  I love it.  It's surprisingly detailed compared to her other art.
The person is Farmer Brown, of course.  (Observe the huge belly button.)  He's about to light his gas stove; he's striking a match held in his left hand.  Outside his house we see a derailed freight train (left) and an air plane about to crash (right).  The foreground is grey sidewalk.

Here's the original comic that inspired Darwyn's art:

The kids love Calvin and Hobbes, and I am very, very happy to read it to them.  Darwyn especially likes the story about the snow goons.
