Aw geez, thanks so much! I'm not eligible, having gotten a DD on a different piece recently. But it makes me really happy you'd recommend this, glad you like it.

Awwwwwwwww! Hehe, yeah, that's what I realized when I looked if you recently had a DD before as I always do when I suggest DD's. But don't worry, let the time pass and I'll suggest it
Meanwhile I would like to tell you that this pic it's really awesome! I really love this menu, it's so amazing! So colorful and lively! The coloring it's neat and the activities on the menu look fun and are very well thought out! characters are lovely and so cute! Your style of drawing them it's adorable! I've been seen your art from a while and I really love these characters!
And let me tell you something, when I was a kid I saw lots of kids menus on restaurants and I never liked any of them! But I'm sure if I had seen this when I was a kid I would for sure take this to my home if I could! if it was possible, and I would stick it in a wall cos your artwork it's so beautiful!
I would have been the happiest kid in the world with this on my wall I think! *chuckles*
I'n my opinion this is not just a menu for kids, it's a master piece!
By the way...I don't know why exactly, but these characters have a french air *chuckles* I don't say I think they are french, just saying they have this vibe

Wowow, thank you very much. I feel the same way, I can't think of any memorable kid's menus...mostly I remember always thinking the word games and mazes weren't ever hard enough (though I'd do them anyway, of course :"D). This project was a nice chance to make a menu I would've liked to see. I'm so glad it's charmed you!
It's funny you say that about the French vibe--these were totally inspired by HergΓ©'s TinTin illustrations. 8D I was thinking about the Continent for all the buildings and stuff too.

Awwwwwww, it's my pleasure really! ^__^ I just said the true of what I see
Yeah that was my feeling with those, I felt like the games weren't hard enough...but I would also do them anyways
oh wow! Really?! Wow! I think that's so cool mate!
I'm fan of Herge's illustrations and TinTin, I think this was a very clever decision, to inspire them in Herge because the style that resulted is really cool and fits

I loved the decoding game! It doesn't look as super-easy as most of those additional games on merch or in children journals. The maze doesn't look obvious either.

blueLudebar In reply to RoadZero [2013-06-21 08:47:10 +0000 UTC]
Thanks very much! I remember I'd get bored with kid's menus really fast because so much of it was too easy, so I wanted to have a good mix of easy and interesting with this.

I would have enjoyed tic-tac-toe so much more if I got to play it with WAFFLES.
These games and illustrations are just too adorable! If I went to this restaurant I'd get the kid's menu. Unless the grown-up's menu was just as exciting.

Haha thanks so much! Doubt I could manage it, I can't even think of a single exciting grown-up's menu. Although personally I get excitable reading about delicious food, so...

those are some heart warming illustrations and some excellent little games... i'd nick the menu off the kid and do them myself! ha ha.
if Fix is always eating, is he ever actually "breaking" his "fast"? hmmm...

HAHA crossover appeal is good, thanks man.
Hmm indeed. Which came first, the fast or the break? @___@
