This is what happens when famous cartoonists visit other famous cartoonists. I like the way they also take over the typography, and even the type of balloons they talk with. Click on for the rest. It gets weirder.

I am totally flabbergasted by Scott Teplin’s architectural typography (or is that typographical architecture ?) at Future Trash. His work is immensely detailed and researched (as the numerous sketches and experiments on his blog show), and he uses the cavalière perspective in an amazingly creative way. For more of his work, visit teplin.com.
