Heebee Post #79 - Bernhard Zilling - Berlin - Germany

Heebee Jeebeeland continues to feature fun family value interests and this Island attraction is an example of how these values can be manifested. The "Family Nucleus Meld" ride is specifically made for the celebration of family togetherness and can bring even the most disintegrating family groups back as a functioning and loving unit. As an Island exclusive - this attraction alone can warrant a vacation in the 4th Dimension.     
Thank you Bernhard for this great concept card and welcome to the 4th Dimension. If you would like to see a very interesting project and it's great cerebral results - Check Bernhard's last Mail Call "Rich and Poor". He has a unique approach and you may enjoy this thoughtful Mail Art study: bernhard-zilling.de/?page_id=27

Heebee Post #78 - Jennifer Zoellner - ST. Petersburg, FL - USA

One of the more spectacular sights on the Heebee Island shores is the incredible Mermaid Sea-Caves. Located at the the bottom of a treacherously steep cliff, it has been almost completely inaccessible until very recently, when a tunnel was dug and an observation  area was built, deep inside the mountain that abruptly ends at the sea. It is quite a mysterious sight, beholding the gloomy cavernous life of these fantastic creatures as they playfully squeal and splash about. Ancient Mermaid skeletons, fossilized into the walls of this erie realm only adds to this extraordinary 4th Dimension vision of sea life.
Jennifer has incorporated her Mermaid Sea-Caves lunch ticket into a lovely postcard. And look at those "S & H Green Stamps". Wow, those bring back memories! Nice cancellation Rubber stamp too Jen. Thank you so much for your 4-D aqua world card. There is still plenty of time to join in her popular project "Chromatophore" jenniferzoe.blogspot.com

Heebee Post #77 - Bendigo - Newark, Nottingham - U.K.

There is always plenty of provocative art adorning the gallery walls of the Confuse-a-Tron Lounge cocktail area. One of the newest additions is this festive arrangement, a sort of postage-art cocktail itself.   
It is too bad that the metallic sheen of this card can't be reproduced here, it really enhances this interesting postcard. Thank you very much Bendigo. Glad to have you visit the Island. Now let's go into the Lounge for a "Creepin' Tango" cocktail and check out some art!

Heebee Post #76 - E. Buado - Chicago, IL - USA

4th Dimensional "Love Birds" vary in shape and size and type. No one can actually own them outright, but they are given as "gift pets" to enjoy only during the vacationer's stay here. These birds cannot travel trans-dimensionally and so they must be released when the guest departs from the Island. Although they appear strange looking, they are wonderful temporary "friends" and their humorous antics are a pleasure to witness.
E. Buado's work seems remarkably like Ed Buddz B.'s stuff. Very interesting. Not that it makes too much of a difference as this is a fine card for Heebee Jeebeeland. Thank you so much my friend. The Island locals love the work you are doing and the distant jungle drums started up again in a frantic joy when this card arrived this morning.

Heebee Post #75 - Frances Haney - Gulfport, FL - USA

There is nothing more unwanted in the 3-D reality world than a scary looking Clown. There are many refugees here on Heebee Island that found it impossible to cohabitate in that ordinary dimension because of fear from the general public. Frances writes that she is predisposed to not liking these frightening Clowns and "Can you take it to a happy place?" Yes Ma'am, we sure can and did. Now he is with the other so-called "Happy Scary Clowns" that are frolicking and having fun here in the 4th Dimension. Thank you Frances for your brand of very fun cards.

Heebee Post #74 - Richard Canard - Carbondale, IL - USA

As the Heebee Jeebeeland Archipelago pioneers become more acquainted with the 4th Dimensional configuration of the Islands, more and more is becoming known about this astounding land-sea complex.  Here, we behold "Janus Island". 
Richard was able to record and map out "one of the more isolated Islands" during a recent stay there. Great job old boy! Thanks very much for this fun and interesting card. It's good to see you back in the 4th Dimension my friend.  

Heebee Post #73 - Wilma Duguay - Bonaventure, Quebec - Canada

There is much unexplained phenomena that occurs on Heebee Island. One fantastic example is that during occasional 4th Dimension meteorological conditions, ordinary rain showers can, instead,  render actual Gold dust.  The value of this Gold is only in the beauty of it however,  because it cannot be trans-dimensionally  taken away into the real 3- D world.   
Wilma's observation of this fun fact is a great card.  Thank you very much for this vision of coolness.  I like it very much.  And wow, that Observatory stamp above is  some nice looking Canadian Postage!

Heebee Post #72 - Frances Haney - Gulfport, FL - USA

When Heebee Jeebeeland comes-a-callin', you'll be staring wide-eyed from your cozy bed too! Sometimes the 4th Dimension sends out invitations for a bold new vacation, here on Heebee Island. Above, we see an ethereal messenger beckoning this lucky, although astonished, soon to be visitor.
I love the dreamlike wallpaper and bedroom scenario in this "Follow me please" invitation from the other dimension. Perhaps you should start leaving those closet doors open. After all, "Fortune favors the bold"! Thank you for this imaginative postcard Frances. I love your cards.

Heebee Post #71 - Servane Morel - Brussels - Belgium

There are some folks who have never felt comfortable existing in the 3-D real world. Servane writes that "(these are) some eccentrics who have no place in my "old" continent". Please, keep them in your Heebee Paradiseland". We are not only hearing your request loud and clear my dear, but we welcome those who yearn for more than reality can offer. Rest assured Servane, they are home now! Her very interesting Mail Art sites are among the best: www.mailartpostal.canalblog.com/ and two others for the more adventure minded: mailartcorto.blogspot.com/ andjulesvernenews.blogspot.com/

Heebee Post #70 - Coralette Damme - St. Petersburg, FL - USA

 "Robotiki", Heebee Island's most popular entertainer, has recently signed a contract extending his Confuse-a-Tron Lounge act for another year. Robotiki is the absolute favorite of the late evening party crowd and no wonder, just check out his often imitated dance moves as he clatters about while fabulously singing the great old standards as well as many catchy modern rockers. You may not be able to sit still when he kicks up the beat and even the most reluctant visitors get up to dance with him as the fun goes on and on - sometimes until dawn. 
Wow Coralette, thanks for bringing this wonderful "Entertainment Sensation" to the 4th Dimension. He is perfect for Heebee Island!  If you would like to find out more about this busy artist, check here: www.craftyhag.com

Heebee Post #69 - Frances Haney - Gulfport, FL - USA

Get a load of this Wascally Wabbit! Wow! And an award winning smile to boot!. Here, you see him adorned, in sharp contrast, with the gentle, soul searching lyrics of Gary Jules (Donnie Darko).  There is just something about a big, menacing Rabbit in uniform!
Yeah, I know and agree about "Frank". He is quite freaky - even by Heebee Island standards! If you happen to stumble upon him during your vacation, try not to take any advice he gives you seriously. Thanks so much for your keen depiction of  this Island denizen Frances. A great card!

Heebee Post #68 - Peter Dowker - Lac-Brome, Quebec - Canada

If you take a leisurely stroll along the 4th Dimensional beaches early in the morning, you may find some peculiar prints that look rather sinister. Not to worry. Tracks like these are often made by the nocturnal tribesmen that roam the jungle floor from dusk until dawn. These 4-D natives are shy and harmless and only wish to be left alone.
Here we see some merry-making Island visitors having some wonderful family fun on and off of the Heebee shores. As Peter points out "they need some flip flops" and indeed they do as their shoes fill uncomfortably with 4-D sand. Thank you so much for another superb post card my friend. If you are interested, Peter conducts quite a Flip Flop Mail Art show here: flipflopmailart.blogspot.com

Heebee Post #67 - Jennifer Zoellner - ST. Petersburg, FL - USA

This is a scary example of what can and does happen in the oceans of the real 3-D world. The ticket stub seen here declares : "Plastic Surprise".  That sure does sound like the entree of an awful dinner, doesn't it? It goes on to reveal that plastic particles outnumber Plankton six to one in some regions of the Pacific. Yikes! But do not worry gentle readers, this scenario cannot exist in the 4th Dimension. It is quite pristine and Island vacationers are just not inclined to violate that spirit of zero litter. 
Jennifer's reverse side, offers a combo festival of postage and fun in this lovely "Mail Cocktail". It's gorgeous Jen. Thank you very much for this colorful array and also for your "Eco-Warning". Does everyone know what Chromatophore means? Find out here: jenniferzoe.blogspot.com

Heebee Post #66 - Stan Askew - Pasadena, CA - USA

It's really a shame that Leonardo never got to enjoy life in the 4th Dimension. Although, no one can be completely sure of that. Many of his ideas and inventions certainly smack of Extra-Dimensional origins. Could he have solved the dimensional barrier? Have others, in previous centuries, found their way here? This other dimension, like an uncontrolled growing wild jungle, can quickly cover up any evidence of any pioneering predecessors.
But one thing is for sure. As Stan writes "If Leonardo lived in the 21st century...." and continued in a note he added ".....He would definitely vacation on Heebee Jeebee Island". One can hardly disagree. Thank you very much for your card Stan and doesn't Leo look hip in his swingin' Island attire!?! More of his fun Art is right here:  www.photoaskew.com/

Heebee Post #65 - Dina Haskins - Cranston, RI - USA

Isn't she just smashing, posing here good naturedly, while playing golf on the fabulous Jeebee Links Golf Course?  Imagine yourself enjoying a care-free afternoon in this fantastic extra-dimensional setting. There are many attractions that comfort and soothe the mind and body here on the Island. A luxurious vacation here can be life changing!Thank you Dina for your glimpse of the grand life and fashion here in the 4th Dimension. Loved this quite charming  "You and Your Man" postcard. What else is she up to?: www.oddducks-dina54.blogspot.com
