The Brontësaurus! (pudding not included)
In 19th century England, three sisters defied convention and became novelists. Even more astoundingly, the three sisters each had important novels published in 1847, namely:
Charlotte Brontë— Jane Eyre
Emily Brontë— Wuthering Heights
Anne Brontë— Agnes Grey
And now, see their tale told as it's never been told before— with action figures!

Franco Brambilla is an artist who collects vintage postcards. Then he starts monkeying with them until he adds just the right science-fiction twist! There's a good slide show of them here, or you can just go to his website through the link above.

But since I use a Mac, I'll just have to gaze wistfully from afar. :(
