Hunson Aberdeer, AKA Martin Olson, implanted a coded message in my dental fillings, ordering me to draw this cover art for the soon-to-be-released Adventure Time Encyclopaedia … my life has never been the same since. I get blinding underarm perspiration and smelly migraines. Thanks, Hunson …
Yet still, ever after that sorrowful day,
Whenever the Butcher was by,
The Beaver kept looking the opposite way,
And appeared unaccountably shy.
The aversion of the Beaver’s eyes is motivated by the primitive belief that whatever cannot be seen by oneself, cannot itself see you. This charming simplicity of thought is the innocent basis of all epistemologies, and it can be said, with some justice, that all of Western philosophy is but footnotes to the nursery-room game of peek-a-boo.
And so … nothing to see here folks, just move right along.
