Shoot! I've missed almost two months of your posts!

I'll just comment quickly on my favorites...

great glossy highlights on the 'm's and 'm's knockoffs.

That Cap'n reminds me of weekday mornings back in the early 50s. My brother and sister tell me I called him 'Cap'n Cap'n Goo'. That I don't recall.

Your 'moon' looks like etched glass. Beauty.

Where it says "Click here for entire blog", I misread it. Thought it said "Lick here for entire blog". Guess I couldn't get past the lickable letters above. Very glassy... er, I mean classy.

Very fun idea! These M & M rejects would be fine for me!

They look like glossy Apple icons!

Oh, very nice. A good idea can turn 'simple' into 'elegant'.

The gloss is nice. M&Ms 2.0?

Reminds me of the old joke:

Q: Why did the blonde get fired from the M&M factory?

A: She kept throwing out all of the 'W's

I've been meaning to get back to your submission all week to let you know how much I loved it - I saw it early on but wasn't able to make comments then. Just wonderful in its powerful simplicity - great twist on the theme - very clever!

What a great piece for 'alphabet'! Now I've got to find some chocolate!

Do you have Smarties in the U.S. of A.? Smarties are like M&M's but rainbow coloured, and they don't have letters on them. Or maybe they have the letter "S" I can't remember.

Anyways, your alphabet candies look like Smarties which are delicious, so that make your illustration delicious too.

Very funny, and cool too.

I want a keyboard with your alpabet in the type arrangement (only with that 'm' returned from Hershey's) :^D Hmmm...a marketing idea keypad skins? Or maybe that's been done...? Although it would be more fun to have a computer keyboard made with real round pads like ye olde famous literary typewriters used by the likes of Hemmingway and even Mark Twain ( http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,925976-1,00.html ) - only with your candy colored designs.

Hi Larry,

This image is really nice. I am not sure of its purpose, but I really liked the colors and glossy effects of alphabets.

I wish to use this image on my site. May I have the pleasure of using this.
