1997. After this was printed, I returned with a print that I was proud of to give it to the vendor. He looked at it and said, "I don't want it."

I was shocked as I thought it was very good.

"Why don't you want it," I asked. "Because," he said, "it reminds me of how trapped I am all day with this stuff. It's like a prison for me."

Anyway, the detail is amazing and if you get a magnifying glass you can read what's in the candy.
