These were fun to do. I penciled the spaces because I am old and (somewhat) wise and have messed up my spacing on these coast-to-coast names many, many times. I think Irene's was prettier in person and didn't photograph very well. Mostly - it's hurting my eyeballs to see these two together. But - neither of them are strong enough to get their own post.
I suppose I could fill up this space between the two of them so that they never fit on the screen together. I like that idea a lot except for the part where I am just filling up space by talking about doing that. It's like when the people in a movie *break the 4th wall* - OK - you know I'm going to be curious about when the term *breaking the 4th wall* was invented. <pause>
The concept goes back to the Greek theater even though they didn't use the term. Shakespeare used it. There were some early silent movies where characters turned and faced the camera and then.... drum roll... we should all be delighted to know that Bugs Bunny gets credit for being the first (or one of the first) to turn and talk directly to the camera. I guess the animators get the credit.
I was not liking the idea that I would fill up the space between the two envelopes with drivel and while this is not important info - it's a fun bit of trivia.
