Panda and tree hugging: I think this would get the Al Gore seal of approval. I don't like the look in the panda's eye, though. Maybe that panda is doing a bit more than just, um, hugging. Maybe that's why they're going extinct. They're more into trees than each other.

I didn't know you could take the L to Brookfield Zoo... I want my childhood back...

As someone who grew up outside Chicago and who went to Brookfield Zoo quite often I am so excited to see this. I really love this poster! Thanks for posting it!
