"Drop that book, Belle!" (dropbook.gif, 635x762x2, 12470 bytes) is the 23rd in a continuing series of fine Disney fanart drawings by Bob Ito . ========================= PLEASE READ THIS FIRST ============================ The image accompanying this description, when decoded, depicts cartoon characters lacking some articles of clothing. Nothing explicit, however-- this is a parody of a well-known magazine cover. Please do not go through the trouble of recovering the image if this may bother you. =============================================================================== If you've seen the July 1994 cover of ESQUIRE magazine, you'll note that Christie Brinkley, er, wasn't quite prepared for her trip to the beach, and thus she used her reading material as something other than reading material. [Hence the inevitable caption, "Drop that book!". What can you say, it's a men's magazine...] Here, we find Belle in a similar predicament. Fortunately, she's got her surfer-beau, Speedo-clad Beast looking after her. Will he get to her with that towel in time, just in case she really does do something so foolish as dropping that book?.....
