Haha, that is certainly amazing. I especially love the astonished and indifferent looks.

Gosh that brings back a memory! Around 1930 My mother took art lessons by correspondence from the ABC Art school in France. I think she learned from diagrams like this how one can draw different expressions. Later on she drew them for us when we were kids.
