December 2002: Pen and Colored Pencils.

Caption: “So, you’re Scott, right? I’m Ivy. Nice to meet’cha.”

Explanation: Scott learns a lesson after making Ivy the subject of his ridicule at the local gym. Scott made fun of Ivy, Ivy challenged him, and the rest is history. Here, she offers a friendly handshake while holding a two-hundred-pound weight.

IVY TRIVIA: Ivy starts to have difficulty with heavy objects once they hit about five hundred pounds. At that point the weight becomes uncomfortable, but it’s not actually harder for her to lift; it’s just that after a certain point, the sense of all that weight pushing down is too much.
