It’s like our bird is just boldly pretending that Indie didnt say “whatever you do, don’t open your eyes” I have mine squoozen shut since what… second grade! Stupid ark opening nazis! Good snakehead feel to this one!
The Turkey Entry # 5
So given the, artist i was convinced this was going to be a mock of a Grace Jones album cover, but sadly I was unable to find a match… so Cody and I have discussed and we’ve decided until someone tells us, we’re better off not knowing and instead are focusing on how impressed we are with the good coat and near calligraphic quality of the gravy she’s getting on there!
The Hidebehind Entry # 4
Now let’s see here, I like scones but I’m not a huge tea guy… I worked in the adult industry long enough that I’m not even sure i need to see another boob…. but I do love flowers and I am a huge fan of free, so guess we know where I’m headed… Oh and side note, I think it’s just a rabbit and crossbones back in the distance but if it is in fact a lil rabbit drummer boy playing with bone sticks… well that’d be the coolest thing in the world!
Judge’s Commentary – Maybe it was the wildflowers, maybe it was the altogether lack of beast, but I still chuckle a lil when i look at this one, and that to me is good beasting!
The Fur-Bearing Trout Entry # 6
You know I can honestly say I’ve never seen a better representation of Russian fish boobs! And I like that regardless of the feasibility, so far, at least a third of us think a hairy fish would smoke! But here’s my question, does the caviar represent a level of almost hyper-sexuality and excess or does is instead reference security for the masses under the protection of zee great mother Russia?
Judge’s Commentary: Now, this isn’t the first time I’ve said out loud, “that’s a sexy fish!” Thanks for reminding me how goddamn hot fish can be. Perhaps more disturbing than this latent fish fetish coming to the surface was the cold, dead stare that Sweaters gave this picture. I could swear that when he saw the two dead dog-like faces I saw… a smile…
The Giant Freshwater Octopus Entry # 5
” nothin fancy … just a sleazy squid …” – haha why does that make me laugh so? And you gotta admit while sleazy… dude knows how to multitask with his tentacles… I am however curious where he got icewater…
Judge’s Commentary – I choose this picture based on 2 thoughts: Creativity and ingenuity. Sometimes art does not have to be the most colorful, ornate, or elaborate to be the best. In a very simple black and white drawing, this artist came up with a way to tell a story… a very clever and witty one at that. Honestly, it just made me laugh. Nice job and well done.
The Tauret Entry # 9
Ha! You know I’m not sure whether it’s the gabby nurse stereotype, or those freaking lion legs hanging over the stirrups, but dammit i got a solid chuckle from this one! Someone give that hippos some drugs!
The Sewer Alligator Entry # 9
“here’s a stinky NYC gator for ya!” – So you know what’s funny, one of the first things I had to do at PB forever ago was shoot a ton of overstocked crap that they wanted to clear out on their auction site… I swear 3/4 of it was a Haring print of some sort… on ties, on shot glasses, or on prints of Haring prints! I always thought his squiggles looked like stink lines too!
The Old Man Coyote Entry # 6
So beyond all the sweet Tex Avery style tongue dropped, lost jawed and emotionally bouyant goodness, I’m kinda amazed that such an experienced trixter such as he, is not more aware that a strip club is just not the kinda place where chicanery is smiled upon… oh well, he’ll learn… and the sticky stage and the quantity of hair on his arms both made me laugh pretty hard!
The Krasue Entry # 3
Man we are stretching to the edges of my old man reference library with this one but thanks to my lack of cable growing up and WGN’s seemingly never ending supply of crap 80s shows I know me some Krause… if for no other reason then Benson is where the shapeshifter from DS9 came from! Also dyslexia, so long as you don’t really have it, usually pretty funny. And as always points for pooling blood!
The Hopkinsville Goblins Entry # 3
Space goblins, one thing you can say for sure is they know how to rile up some hillbillies! Now there’s no way this artist could have known but the dude making swiss cheese out of his outhouse looks a hell of a lot like our old workplace bud and contributor and many time champ E Wizzle which i also appreciate.
The Lil Owl Entry # 13
Oh man! I think the only thing keeping me from sending you a million dollars (beyond the fact that I most definitely don’t have it) is that the lil camel toe beak bit is scaring me a little… but that freaking gyro log body! Genius! And I almost did mine as a spin off Bob’s burgers bob… so I’m glad someone did a way better hairy faced kitchen master!
The Leshy Entry # 4
Nice! A little bit witchdoctor, a little bit beard n bunny farm, an obvious fan of the feather centric tickle and he looks a little like he’s ready to poop out some offspring! And man… great toes!
The Gumberoo Entry # 3
Damn you and your shopping cart inclusion making me laugh! You gotta love when backfat rolls like a series of sow teets, the flammable tramp stamp is great though I would have also accepted an image of a bomb with an arrow down or even “da bomb”. And how ’bout our hapless victim’s core strength… he’s trunk is staying arrow straight right to the very end!
The Christmas Elf Entry # 3
Youss guyss mays jusst be bottlesss but yousssiss myss besssst friendsss! Is he wearing a frilly shouldered but sleeveless bodymorph suit? I sure hope so and I’m curious how a halftone fill makes me think it’s more festive, but I suppose how it works is less important than the fact that it just works!
The Skunk Ape Entry # 5
Man alive does he look high! I love the cloud of filth and flies and I’m endlessly entertained with a skunk ape using tools and in doing so, keeping it rated G by blocking our view of his swamp junk, as he’s looking pretty naked.
The Hoop Snake Entry # 2
What with the googly eyes and lolling tongues you might be channeling a lil Tex Avery in this one! Anyone else worried that its possible that the all the poisonous snake contact is causing a little bit of lower leg swelling?
Judge’s Commentary – Don’t make me say “Hula Hoop Snake”, damn it. This entry has it all. Curves, pervs, and polka dots.
2013 Turkey – Submission # 5
You know that’s always been my biggest issue with old school, air cured hams… you just never know what environment they’ve been hanging out in for the last year… gotta appreciate this birds hustle though!
The Mother of All Cows Entry # 3
Seems like forever since we’ve had a good old fashioned paneled entry! And seriously even if I was in a hurry, if a cab drives me up to a human headed cow, I’m getting my ass out to take a look!
The Gougou Entry # 2
I gotta admit the fishermans expression made me smile… though I’m kinda doubting his observational skills seeing as she got awful close before he noticed… and now i need to know who the hell you got to do a tramp stamp that big… or for that matter where you get hot shorts that size… who’d have thunk Canada held such wonders?
Judge’s Commentary – Canadians and their oversized booty shorts and tramp stamps.
