And now a set of those illustrations is headed toward the auction block next month as part of Bloomsbury's Illustrated Books auction.

The Missed Connections section on Craigslist has proven a muse to many, and most recently has inspired an artist to illustrate listings. Sophie Blackall says, "Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I'm trying to pin a few of them down." Our favorite may be the one of the pigeon, where the listing was simply, "Are you scared of birds or something? Well, whatever the case, it was cute. Do you live on N7th too? We could hang out."
