Did he soak a straw hat in Hawaiian Punch? Between that and all the punching, I'm a little concerned for his mental health.

Speaking of old baseball logos:

I never saw that the mitt is made up of an M and a B until years later...

There's a popular Finnish comic strip that has character who looks like this (the bald guy):

For the longest time I was wondering, "Why the heck does he have a weird skin flab under his nose?!". Then I happened to read some of the early strips where he was drawn a bit differently, and it turns out he's supposed to have a "boxer's nose": the upper curve is supposed to be the bridge of his nose, and the lower curve is the actual nose. I still get angry at the artist anytime I see the strip in the papers: there's no way the reader can interpret those two bits as part of the same nose!!

not exactly misinterpreted, but ever since someone pointed it out to me I've never been able to look at the London 2012 logo without seeing Lisa Simpson giving someone a blowjob.

Adding colours makes it even more obvious.

I've mentioned this before, but years ago I put this vinyl cover on my wall because I thought it looked cool, and only after it had been there for months did I realize what those mountains were, and why the Natural Four looked so happy.

Gives a new meaning to the album title as well...

Always wondered what was happening with Studs Kirby's nose.

though I've always been sensitive about Studs, since he's the comic character that most resembles me.

Bagge's stuff is often abstracted to the point where there's no percentage in comparing it to literal human anatomy.
