Skeletor

I feel like this a lot.  Okay, sometimes.  Alright, rarely do I feel like this, but occasionally I do, and this is exactly what it feels like.  Sorta.  (Note the mouth mice.) Yeah, sometimes I get mouse mouth, too.

But I get over it.  Sorta.

Bread Man And Fruit Lady

Bread Man always had a few anger issues…

His wife, Fruit Lady has always been very suspicious of others.

I can’t find the source of these things.

The .Gif Friday Post No. 37 – Cleaning the Attic

Doodleboards

I really need one of these for when pens become obsolete. The complex shapes you can create while leading on and convincing telemarketers that you’re REALLY interested in their product/service/investment scams almost rival my own analog version.

Reminds me of The Stress Calendar. It was an 18″x 24″ blotter type pad that sat on top of a file cabinet adjacent to one of the office telephones. The boss didn’t believe in letting underlings have telephones at our desks so we had to go to the one next to The Stress Calendar. Very efficient.

Here’s a sample:

Children’s Nightmares Illustrated

Some time ago I ran across a great collection of illustrations by professional illustrators of children’s illustrations of monsters, in a side-by-side format. I was unable to find the original source (possibly somewhere in DRB) for the images below, but here is a link to the site of one of the artists, Dave Devries, who certainly had something to do with the concept. He’s got a great collection of work and related stuff for sale, too.

Post Box Post

R2D2 takes your mail and sends it to a galaxy far far away. Then he leaves a nice little pile of scatological droid humor on the sidewalk.

Yeah, I get it. Anorexic Fe-mailbox. I bet the owner cracks himself up every day except Sundays and holidays.

I’ll admit this is clever, even though it’s kinda, you know, um, wrong… whether it’s outgoing mail or incoming.  Still just wrong.

J. V. Lafferty’s Contribution to the World

lucy-the-elephant-building2_amazing-building.jpg

If you lived here, you wouldn’t need to keep your old trunk in the attic. From Wikipedia:

James Vincent de Paul Lafferty, Jr. (1856-1898) was an Irish-American inventor, most famous for his construction of Lucy the Elephant. Born to Irish parents in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he received Patent Number 268503, on December 5, 1882 to protect his original invention, as well as any animal-shaped building. Broke by 1887, he was forced to sell her and in 1898, he died, and is buried in the cemetery of St. Augustine’s Catholic Church in Philadelphia.

This architectural gem was built, still stands, and is protected as an historical something or other. [You can see Lucy in all her glory in this previous post.]

No idea what this is all about (maybe something about fighting global warming caused by the sun). Nice animation just the same.  Rock on.
