The “Princess Peach” jpeg has been updated post-posting due to unforgivably shitty photoshopping in my first attempt.

Also, it’s kind of troubling (yet sadly unexpected) that one finds so many weirdly sexualized drawings of Princess Peach when you do a search on Google Images for the character. This must be like that “furries” thing I keep hearing about.

Cool post Bone, gotta love the Ninty!

Merry Xmass and thanks for the blogroll add!

And people are nuts w/ that Princess Peach business, that’s like sexualizing a hangnail!?!

. . . I’m sure there are those out there who do that as well?

So I take it that the neither the third or fourth image is a pipe?

That’s just what Mr. Magritte would have you think, eh? And yet, are you gonna believe everything that guy says? I think he still owes me, like, thirty bucks.

[...] favorite painting by Magritte is The Treachery of Images (referenced in this post). But The Art of Conversation is amazing as well. [...]
