Hey, I love the work of both Twain and Austen, but that's a hilarious quote I hadn't heard before. You've already seen my blog post (thanks for leaving a comment! ), but I wanted to leave a comment for you here too.
What I like so much about your vig is that you've picked an absolutely perfect face for Mr. Clemens, and you've captured motion very well. I also like how you used Aunt May's hair to make the skeleton "female." Nice.
I think you're Mark Twain is great, but the first time I saw it (not realizing who he was supposed to be) I thought he was Teddy Roosevelt! I guess they looked a bit similar.
