The Inst-o-matic Citizen

The Inst-o-matic Citizen
These are Illustrations made for a personal project. I made these illustrations to go along to a story I have written. Based on the idea of children's books for adults.


There once was a town with many citizens who were nice and polite.
But, just Between you and me all was not right.


The citizens existence was such a bore,
They tried everything behind closed doors.
There was nothing that could give them a perk,
Not eating, not sexing, not a thing seemed to work


One day came a parade of trucks reading, "Trusty's Sweets."
In front was the Master Baker; who proclaimed,"Try us! We will not be beat."
"We bring treats that are here to excite.
For adults and children alike."


Trusty's soft serve with 'Pleassant Sprinkles' spread throughout town.
Soon you couldn't go anywhere without seeing a Trusty's around.


A couple of days later the Baker announced,
"It's a factory that you lack."
So they built while telling citizens nuitrition facts.

The citizens purchased by the dozen, they purchased by the horde.
Little did they notice that citizens were missing more and more.


Trusty's dazzled them with sugary treats;
While they became the main ingredient in what they would eat.


When he mashed up the last citizen he stole.
The Master Baker had reached his goal.

As he enjoyed one of his tasty treats.
He Smiled and said, "Can you believe this is made of meat?"
