Guest Post: The Dangers of Singling out the Senses

Well, not completely alone but there are only so much "What the FREAK just happened?!?" and "Did I catch that correctly?" remarks you can say to a baby in an extremely sleep-deprived state before you start questioning your own sanity and wondering if you are making up extra plotlines in your head. Anyways. Illustrator Tadej Štrok decided to celebrate the season finale by creating the floor plan of the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce office and...
