McCall 1166 - Topsy Turvy

McCall 1166
"Here the tables are turned in earnest with the chef getting the worst of it..."

Here is my most disturbing recent acquisition - "Topsy Turvy" in which we see a diminutive chef being tortured by a series of scary food items. He alternately prays for his life to a hungry pig, has a narrow miss with a pitchfork-wielding hare, or struggles in the clutches of a giant lobster seconds before being boiled alive. Just look at that evil glance he's getting from the goose with the cleaver... good luck little chef guy, but just between you and me - I think you're toast!

This is a classic. This reminds me of a video game that I loved. The chef would chase a pig, and gooble food along the way.
Where do you find these cool patterns?

I love these, and I think the lobster one is the BEST because, yep, all those poor lobsters, boiled alive! That always seems so cruel to me.
