I'd been mulling over this idea for at least a couple of years, when at last I decided that I should either make it, or stop thinking about it. I wanted to make something with substantial content, and I wanted it to be funny, but not too cute. I also wanted to pack it with stuff, aside from the coloring book images (which were of Albert Parsons, Rosa Luxemburg, Subcomandante Marcos, and Rosa Parks): A crossword, a word find, temporary tattoos, refrigerator magnets, an origami pig, and a Karl Marx paper doll. I included Communist-era Polish 100 zloty notes to make the pig (I have many of these notes, from an earlier project. Many.), and tried to make the text as informative as possible. Nothing I've ever made has lived up to the image in my mind, but I'm happy with this one.
