I remember watching Pac-man every saturday morning. I just read some sites that said it was the worst cartoon ever, but I was a kid, and it was just fine by me. Mr. and Mrs. Pacman were the portrait of the typical American family. I often heard it said during the 80's that much of the world thought our streets were paved with gold. Well, the Pac family didn't have gold, but power pellets grew on trees, and that was just as good, or better. If anyone got in their way they just ate 'um. I have to wonder if this mentality has contributed to the obesity problem in America today.My apologies to Grant Wood.

This is too too cool! I'm blown away! I watched it too and thse look just like 'em. then you go and incorporate then into "American Gothic"? Genius.
Sorry about the spelling--I really should get to sleep now.
God I am old enough to remember when pacman fever hit. I was in first grade. Also around the same time as Thriller. God time kicks your ass. Grant Wood does amazing landscapes too BTW. Lots of nice simplification. Great work.
Very clever... I played pac-man heaps growing up, yet somehow I was so crap at it. Great illustration.
I think Grant Wood (from the grave) must be used to the parodies of his famous painting by now. This is so clever, Angela. I love her stance and the look on her face. A great commentary on the obesity crisis as well.
Wokka wokka! Your cartoon put a smile on my face this morning, Angela. Really nice! Clever idea and perfect execution. Great expression on Ms. Pacman.
