Very nice, although this is not the main point of the drawing, I love the small patches of grass peeking through the bottom...it is like somehow life is trying to break through all the dead.

Well, ring around the rosy is sort of a reference to the bubonic plague.

Actually, there is no concrete evidence that says it was about the Plague.

i herd that the plauge is the meaning behind this nursery rhyme
i must say this is an AWESOME piece of work!

It's sad when you realize that many children's rhymes have macabre, secret meanings. This one relates to the plauge. In Jack and Jill, Jack apparently breaks his skull. Sometimes I wonder what people were thinking when they taught their children these thing... -_-
But your art id amazing

Actually Jack and Jill were talking about the beheading of a king and a woman.

Creepy, at first glance they don't look like dolls but little girls dancing merrily around a fire, then you click the thumb and it's crazy dolls and a funeral pyre! Sweet!

Reminds me a video "Rosenrot" from Rammstein. There was a sweet girl dancing around the fireplace. At the end of the video they burned her "lover", a priest, on this fireplace. But she was still smiling. Devil.
Cool.

Generally I don't like macabre, but I love this. Most people don't know it's about the Black Plague. Kinda like most people don't know about all the crap in the Wizard of Oz.

i like how that one doll is looking at the viewer... it's like she's saying, "you know too much, so why don't you join them?"
very kewl. ^_^

Isn't Ring-A-Ring-A-Rosy meant to be about the Black Death...?
''A tissue, a tissue, we all fall down...''
Excellent work, as usual
kisskissAMEHxx

I believe that it goes "ashes, ashes, we all fall down..." not "a tissue", because ashes referred to the ashes of the burnt infected bodies.
