Reviewing old characters while previewing new ones. That seemed to be the theme this week.
Fabio opened the week with a review of all the old characters and a preview of what’s to come! And later in the week he said: “Facciamo un riepilogo.” (Let’s make a summary.) So, Fabio showed all the characters from day one to present! It’s only about two months but it seems so much longer!
Our first character this week was a Chickadee! Really cute! The question “Coffee or Tea?”
In black and white it begged the question. “What do you prefer?” What do the guys prefer?” I think it was a 50/50 split!
As to the color picture, an hour before it was posted, Fabio posted a picture of Noah taking a bath and he called it “Spa Time!” My first thought was, the little chickadee is in a cup of water, “Okay Fabio, I got it, Spa Time!” And I implored everyone to “pay closer attention to Fabio and you’ll get it to!” Coincidence? Who knows?
So finally, we are presented with the BOIN logo! What are we looking at? In Black and White the question arises “Look at this one, what do you see? Are we missing something or is it just a logo?”
In the White and Black, “Look at it! What is it telling you? Is there something there that we’re not seeing?”
Nice logo! I think the eyes in O with an X through it, signifies Hugs and Kisses! You guys deserve lots of Hugs and Kisses for all the good work you’re doing here! I send you mine!
What post got the most attention this week? DOG BOIN
Everyone has a counterpart in BOIN so why not Arturo? His counterpart is DOG BOIN with glasses in black and white! You have to admit he looked like Arturo. Don’t forget Arturo’s counterpart would probably be like a superman character who wears glasses in this alternate universe. I thought he looked handsome in the glasses. This was the post that everybody got in on. So many people responded, that’s Arturo! I know he’s DOG BOIN, but, yes, it seems that DOG BOIN is Arturo with glasses. That went over big for the black and white but not the Arturo in color.
Everyone thought that DOG BOIN in color was cute but, they said it had no relation to Arturo because they like Arturo’s color better. They love Arturo and they want him in his original color and form. BOIN DOG in black and white was okay but they’re not buying the alternate color!
I think Arturo has his own fan club!
I tell you, when I saw that black and white picture of something flying, I thought, “Is that a turkey without a head? No way!”
When I saw it in color, I thought that’s the donut that the kids love, Pink Icing with Sprinkles. It seems our Big BOIN Kids love them too!
But, of course, this donut is flying!
The guys tell us “everyone must fly towards their dreams, no matter who you are or what you look like!”
I decided, “If a donut can fly, then dreams can come true! Always FOLLOW your dreams @boincollection.
The BOIN Brain! My question, “What exactly is going on in those beautiful BOIN Brains?” Well, they made it obvious that they want to get inside our brains! To me it looked like total melt down!
And how about the adorable BOINBAT. He can hang out in my cave anytime! So, what do you think, is there a lady BOINBAT? I think this is the start of more, superhero, characters?
And so, we end the week with a LIVE! Fabio worked his wonders in black and white. The result! It’s the cover of the BOIN book! FOLLOW @boincollection to hear more about the book!
Till next week, FOLLOW @boincollection

The 13 minute Live was about the best 13 minutes I’ve spent in a long time.
Grazie, Thank you, Gracias 🙂
Dear Susan,
Thanks for the update and the interpretation of BOIN. My favorite is the sweet chickadee in the teacup, but Arturo is splendid in his glasses.
The Boin drawings are all charming as are your comments on them, Susan. Thank you sincerely for this post:).
The ice cream cone was so sweet (no pun intended!). It was a tantalizing forward look to summer…sweethearts strolling along sharing a taste of each others favourite flavour, little boys and girls happily licking theirs while it dripped from the hole they had bitten from the bottom of the cone, grandmas and grandpas sitting and sunning on the park bench rejoicing in winter’s end recalling days of yore. It has been a long covid winter and just seeing it brought such happy images of better days ahead.
My other favourite is the spunky little bird in the airplane. But I can’t help but see Ignazio being the pilot flying their business jet with Gianluca and Piero on board on to our airport and giving a concert in our little city. Well, I can dream, can’t I?
Don’t know how I will ever be able to see Makari, But the song is simply beautiful. And they all sound perfect as they always do!
Merci encore une fois Susan pour ton récit tres clair ! Allez on attendra la suite ,j’attends toujours avec impatience les nouveaux modeles plus beaux les uns que les autres
Мила Сюзън , много мило че правиш разказ за всеки от героите на Боин. Аз съм вече голям фен! Най,-мниго харесвам пилето в самолета и Артуро(колко е важен с очилата си!🤫. Нашите момчета винаги са ме радвали , даже когато мълчаха. Те за мен са номер 1.🥇
Will Makari be on line somewhere? The song is lovely. Here BTS (from Korea) is everywhere. If you can’t see them in person, they are available everywhere else. I want IL VOLO to be like that! Anyway, I have qite a collection of their work. And there is always You Tube! Dena Pitchfork, Mercer Island, Washington U.S.S.
I actually have several favorites and Arturo is one of them. Tho I don’t begin to understand what these delightful characters are really all about, I am enjoying the journey. Also enjoy your descriptions of what you think it is all about hoping I will somehow begin to understand. Enjoying the adventure.
