It's like staring at a belt sander.

banal like anal (snoball), Thursday, 10 May 2012 21:40 (eleven years ago) link

or a river of vomit

a belt sander or vom river with weird windows into other realms

Right now I can hear the screeching of cats mating outside, which is an oddly appropriate soundtrack.

I saw a real hammerhead shark at the aquarium on the weekend so magic eye shark can suck it

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 10 May 2012 21:48 (eleven years ago) link

a cool thing to do with magic eyes, instead of staring off beyond the plane, is to fix your vision just short of it (i.e., looking at it sort of "crosseyed"). then you get a weird inversion of the image. instead of a happy lil bubblegum vomit shark swimming along above a bubblegum vomit river, it's a twitching, shark-shaped hole in the river's surface. trippy!

Ok, this thread, how do you not notice a desiccating lion corpse being consumed by flies??? It's right in the middle! It's kind of eye-catching imo because it's a DEAD FUCKIN LION.

Dale, dale, dale (Abbbottt), Thursday, 10 May 2012 21:55 (eleven years ago) link

the container is smallish, the decoration on the tin is kind of ornate, and...LOOOK I'M SORRY I'M JUST NOT ALWAYS THAT OBSERVANT

xxp I'm English and we see this image so much that it's kind of like a non-image by the time we're six or seven years old. Kind of like how I imagine American kids see Ronald McDonald and think 'that's Ronald McDonald' and not 'urgh creepy clown dude'.

banal like anal (snoball), Thursday, 10 May 2012 22:04 (eleven years ago) link

if he were a creepy clown corpse who was being consumed by flies (actually bees), then I think this would be a different story

abbott's post about the brains is killing me btw

It made the Unabomber SO MUCH SCARIER. I thought, how come no one has caught this man? Just look for the man with the terrifying exposed brains.

Dale, dale, dale (Abbbottt), Thursday, 10 May 2012 22:06 (eleven years ago) link

They could put Ronald McDonald corpse honey on the McFlurries.

banal like anal (snoball), Thursday, 10 May 2012 22:09 (eleven years ago) link

I'm probably the wrong U.S.er to talk about Ronald, who has always given me the weirds. I remember at age seven being at a 4th of July parade and when the float with Ronald came by, hearing the other kids cry out his name. "Ronald! Ronald!" not in fear. It was the first time being in a crowd and thinking, what is wrong with all these people? Am I the only sane one here?

Dale, dale, dale (Abbbottt), Thursday, 10 May 2012 22:23 (eleven years ago) link

Abbs between Ronald and Unabomber here you are on fire! :D

I don't get where the "KKK" in a Marlboro pack is supposed to be, can someone explain?

Tuomas, Friday, 11 May 2012 08:01 (eleven years ago) link

they're referring to the red & white wedge/triangle design element, which occurs 3 times on the pack

I always see this chap as a bloodhound with circular ears.

thomasintrouble, Friday, 11 May 2012 10:06 (eleven years ago) link

maybe not circular ears then. but definitely as a hound of the basset/blood type. it looks fuck-all like a speed camera.

Isn't it a trucker hat on backwards?

Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Friday, 11 May 2012 16:36 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah, I think so. It's just so far back on his head and so strangely depicted though

dell (del), Friday, 11 May 2012 16:43 (eleven years ago) link

It's esp. confusing in the b/w strips, but I had trouble finding one via cursory gis

dell (del), Friday, 11 May 2012 16:45 (eleven years ago) link

I think Billingsley's made the crown too narrow and the back too flat compared to the height of the crown and the length of the bill and also compared to Curtis' head's size.

Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Friday, 11 May 2012 16:47 (eleven years ago) link

He read the ILX trucker hat thread, but has never actually seen one in real life

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 11 May 2012 17:06 (eleven years ago) link

it also maintains the same profile when he turns his head!

Scott, bass player for Tenth Avenue North (Hurting 2), Friday, 11 May 2012 17:12 (eleven years ago) link

Maybe it's a shoe stuck on a pole sticking out of his backpack?

banal like anal (snoball), Friday, 11 May 2012 17:14 (eleven years ago) link

Woudl at least explain why he's getting bullied. "Hey you! Shoe-pole-backpack boy! What ya doin' with that shoe on a pole sticking out of your backpack?"
