Brer Rabbit MADE Beatrix Potter

This will only work today (Monday), so please do the following quickly:

1. Go to Google.
2. Be filled with joy as you behold one of Amelia’s favorite small pleasures in life

I love Google’s themed logos.  I can’t help it.  And while they missed Joel Chandler Harris’ birthday–a pure oversight, I’m sure–author and illustrator Beatrix Potter is honored today.

She was a fan of Joel Chandler Harris.  The New York Times says:

Although her first audience was British, her work was strongly influenced by that of an American, Joel Chandler Harris, whose Brer Rabbit stories she had loved as a child, and it quickly found fans in the United States.

There you go, folks.  Joel Chandler Harris MADE Beatrix Potter.  And Mark Twain.   And The Office. And, kinda genetically speaking, Lain.  The list just keeps growing!
