I made this template for artwork. I looked everywhere for a font that looked like that handwriting we looked at last night; I couldn't find one. But I thought this one was cool, it's called Morphine Jack.
I put the jpg up on the server.

Quick overview of the story
Here's a quick overview of the story:
In our interpretation of the story, the man is death (as in the grim reaper). His wife is plump, energetic, excitable, slightly unicorn obsessed, and represents life.
From a thematic viewpoint this is a story about someone who is the embodiment of death trying to be involved in creation, vis a vis the homemaking, something he sees his wife do all the time and thinks would be simple for one such as him to do. However, as it turns out destruction is much easier than creation, a lesson he painfully learns through this story. His wife thrives in his job and he utterly fails at hers.
For all the deep themes of life and death, this will be a comedy. A lot of physical humor, and a lot of comedic violence directed at death.
Death is cocky, old fashioned, and a bit set in his ways. His wife is always looking forward, embraces change and loves bright colors, rainbows and especially unicorns.
The house that Death lives in is in the center of space and time. It touches every place and every time. However, death is very much a creature of habit, and thus most of the things he brings into his home are older advances, like the butter churn. However, since his wife moved in, she has put her own touch on the environment, covering up gothic bizzare furniture with bright crocheted blankets and unicorn plushies. The house is now an odd contrast of very bizarre and differing asthetics, a familiar situation for anyone who has moved in with someone who has different ideas on how to decorate a home.

Notes/research
Just gonna post some notes and research to help everyone out. :) I'll keep updating this post as I find more.
Asked how he thought of himself, he said he was primarily "a drawer" and an artist with moral convictions. he was fearless about using his pen to express his political positions. He was known for the swiftness of his line; it was deft as well as diabolical.

Osborn
Osborn is the definition of late bloomer. He was approaching forty years old when he began drawing cartoons for the Navy, his first major body of work. He created between 2,000-3,000 drawings for posters and military training booklets, many of them featuring Dilbert, a goofball pilot who did everything incorrectly. It’s a crime that these drawings have not been collected nor reprinted anywhere since their original publication seventy years ago.
He doesn’t hesitate to twist and distort forms, caricature expressions, anthropomorphize airplanes, and gag up an idea.

This is mostly to inform Asami and Crystal.
So the three artists we picked are Frederick Rowland Emett, Robert Osborn, and Eduard Thony.
Nick if you could just write down some notes on the key elements of the story on the blog it would be really helpful especially for Asami and Crystal. Just a quick list will do. Thank you!
