Those were those paper mats they put in trays at fast food restaurants, and I'm pretty sure this one was for McDonald's. Those hands are definitely not his.

I found another picture of it:



The site it was on said that a number of restaurants near the 2001 Tokyo Game Show had them.

The dude in this picture is a goon, I recall seeing this posted in the cosplay thread (or maybe a Halloween thread).

I'm pretty sure that's Honey Boo Boo's mother.

Yeah, those switches must do SOMETHING.

Not quite as strange of as that, but the house I rent has this.. thing.


It ticks softly like an egg timer constantly. There's no way to stop it. The bar at the top right turns on our exterior flood lights, that's all I know. I assume it's some sort of timer for the outside lights, but I don't have the slightest clue how it's intended to function. Our landlords don't have any idea either.

Yeah, it's probably designed to turn on the lights at certain times to ward off burglars.

For the same reason that a lot, if not most, Norwegian singers sing in English: It just sounds cooler. Norwegians often think Norwegian is boring and lame.

Boring and lame because of the way it sounds? Or some other reason?

I have only bought one signed print from an artist who I knew only through the internet.

No regrets.

If anyone else is interested, I'll save you the reverse image search and tell you it's this guy;
Taiyolapaix

Is this woman based on a real person? Or is she just an R. Crumb-esque fantasy?

I think this is really appealing. Gorgeous color palette, and a girl who doesn't fit the mold for this type of art. Looking at the rest of his stuff it seems to be done with a lot of affection and no irony that I can see. I love her goofy, gawky smile, full figure and exaggerated facial features. It's just really cool art.

I think it would be better if her figure weren't so exaggerated and porno-perfect. It would certainly make it a little harder to be convinced that he's using them purely for jerk-off fodder.

The guy who painted that may have been thinking of this east coast knockoff chain:

There are also a couple JFK Fried Chickens, which as far as I know are knockoffs of the knockoff – along with Lincoln Fried Chicken and (until recently) Obama Fried Chicken.
