A number of years ago, a KPC student was chatting with Ani Palchen about ways to promote “Adopt-an-Acre.”  That was a campaign, now completed, for securing the land on which the Maryland stupas are situated.

Ani Palchen thought a moment, then just tossed off the cartoon below. (On scrap paper!)  If you remember the work of cartoonist Jules Pfeiffer, you will recognize Palchen’s cartoon as an homage! Of course, before taking robes, she was a dancer–perhaps in the mold of Pfeiffer’s figure, as imitated below.
