This is by Graham, not me. I'm just posting it because it touches me more than anything else here, and because it deserves to be readed. Remember the two "Lisa by Night" pics?
It's been a year since i did those, trying to figure out what i tried to tell with them, trying to come up with a reason, something that showed how i really felt about them... a story, a scene. I couldn't, and sometimes, i hated me for this.
But in the end...this is what all should've been about:

To me, it's just perfect. Thanks Graham.

Great. Really great, indeed. Introspective... Great piece, Graham. I don't know exactly why, but it's special, in its own way.

Re: Lisa by Night
Well you should really be praising Marco for the picture that inspired it more than anything else, because I wouldn't have written it without that.

Oh... it's just... I don't... I can't...
Thank you, Graham, for writing this. And thank you, Marco, for inspiring him. Now the beautiful picture has a beautiful story to go with it. I am... captivated...

Re: Lisa by Night
That was a very nice piece to go along with such a breathtaking picture, Graham. I have always wondered what kinds of stories people get in their heads from looking at that pic.Homer eats a little too much Chile to strong pepper and is found with hullicinations amongst other things it speaks with a dog.

Re: Lisa by Night
Wow! You scared me, Marco! I thought you'd written a story.
I have to agree. Lisa by Night is a well read traditional story. Something many people at SFWC have associated with and reconstructed often and succeeded in creating great dramatic stories. It was one of the first dark slanted imaginary aspects of the Simpsons life. And one of the best.

Re: Lisa by Night
Wonderful! That's all I can really say about it. You've done a great job of articulating the mood and feeling of the original pic, Graham. A worthy companion to one of Marco's best efforts.

Well, since it was saved on the computer, it would have been a bit silly to actually burn it... let's just say it's somewhere far from human eyes now.

Re: Lisa by Night
Okay, I'm really sorry for stealing Graham's thunder here a little, but since his version is vastly superior to mine, I suppose it's not so bad. I dug this up last night, and in case you think all the good reviews for LF went to my head, reading through this nonsense quickly cut me down to size. Please, forgive me.
