Let’s start with some murderous intent, shall we?
Deus ex Machina.
Because you wouldn’t want to trouble yourself…
I’ll say:
Love this guy. He needs to go on a pendant with the kaiju (bottom of the page if you click here).
Oh Vincent Price, did you fall on some hard times?
Is the fire customary? Or did “Ivy Pete and the Limbomaniacs” go the extra mile here?
You know what this grill needs? More hot dogs.
This is just too much (fun) for my brain to process at once:
A little comic from a collection of “sad animals” sent by my wonderful friend/reader/contributor Jim. It made me laugh out loud.
Clearly, this fellow needs to take a lesson from Li’l Brudder the one-legged dog (whom I proudly wear on a T-shirt from my best friend). He’s a champion.
And now for a couple of art pieces…
A new Ron English piece I’m somewhat fond of:
Beautiful photo by Sabina Tabakovic:
More things…
Sweet.
I adore this picture.
Thomas Edison looking more badass than you, me or anyone we know.
New from Pixar! (via Dan Meth who will surely get a feature post here soon)

Today in the US we celebrate our Independence Day. I’m not exactly the type to throw on red, white and blue and wave an American flag…but I’ll gladly give you some unsettling waxworks of American forefathers.
George Washington’s cold dead eyes welcome you…
These are actually supposed to be Benjamin Franklin:
A little bit o’ Lincoln:
Looking like the sinister cousin of Mr. Rogers (hide your kiddies)…
Group shots!
And two bonus images from Neatorama…
Awesome Statue of Liberty construction shot:
And Lady Liberty herself looking eeeeeevil.

Are you ready for something incredible, supposedly printed in 1961?
I couldn’t find much info about The Executive Coloring Book, aside from the source (the marvelous Surviving Sophia Walker.
Is it for real? Is it ironic? The world may never know.

I’m deviating from my usual blog fare for this little gem. NSFW due to language, but the subject matter is about as safe for work as it gets.
Absolutely hilarious! Send this to all the men you know who may feel that drinking tea is a tad effeminate.
“DON’T SLURP! IT’S RUDE!”

Hey Dad…I have the wonderfullest thing for you today:
Every word of last year’s Fathers Day post remains true…
Today I’d like to like to honor my dad, who is truly one of the most amazing individuals I’ve ever known. This man has been a stellar role model of compassion, responsibility and integrity, who continues to inspire me on a daily basis. I owe so much of who I am, and anything I may achieve in the future, to his love and guidance.
It’s a rare person (and a rare parent) who can seamlessly blend rationality and emotion, regulation and freedom, wish and possibility. He selflessly provided so much, yet taught me to take nothing for granted. From him, I learned to hope for great things…yet never balk at working hard to get them. I learned that love is not only words, but the genuine desire to make someone’s world a better place, honoring their needs with equal (if not more) importance than one’s own.
Dad, not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate the hell out of you! May I go forward in this world with the values you have taught me and make you proud…
I like this card. I think I could still do this and my dad would barely feel it! (by Dear Nic)
Dad…you’re #1…and the World’s Greatest.

Classic toy…mildly menacing…
The glowing soul of an industrial plant…
One of those days.
Fire retardant shorts? Not doing a very good job, it seems.
Take THAT, Lady Gaga…you’re not the first to dress in meat.
And here we have the inspiration for The Human Centipede; the worst sculpture in the known universe.
Awesome.
I give you heart shaped whale anatomy…for future use on your handmade valentines.
Welcoming, indeed.
And I leave you with this sage advice:
-
Are you ready for the most exhaustive antique account of cat anatomy I’ve come across?
I give you The Cat: An Introduction to the Study of Backboned Animals, Especially Mammals.
How great is that title?
See scans of the entire text here.
I can guarantee it’s better than some of the more modern literary cat fare (sorry “Dr.”):

I saved this image the first time I saw it, then it popped up on about 30 of the regular sites I follow. I must say…these are great candles:
This reminds me of the small vase of doll heads on sticks in the corner of my desk. Sometimes I forget what’s in my own house.
Look at the sweet expression on this Kajiu’s face. He only wants a hug, really.
I actually sent little Crack Kitty as a greeting the other day (which I probably enjoyed far more than the recipient).
And some strung out veggies that remind me a bit of Nouar’s wonderful work.
Your daily dose of retro comic trepanation:
What comes to mind when you think of NORSE GODS? Stuffed cabbage? Me too. THOR-RIFFIC.
Sexy, cheesy gun love…
I wish I knew who this photographer is:
No idea what this was actually for:
Too many bad puns I could make. Invent your own.
Sweet cartoon cross section…
I want to recreate this hat:
Brimming with personality…
Stark contrast of pristine confection art and…for lack of a better term…BRAIN PLOP…brilliant.
I’m going through an anatomical bird phase at the moment.
I just put this one on a pendant:
And lastly, I give you a random shot of the world’s most timid fire extinguisher suggestion:

This post on Regretsy actually made me laugh out loud, particularly because it was entitled “CHICK MAGNET.”
I question the caliber of preservation skills. Even the experts on mummifying chickens had to deal with some nastiness.
Anyway, if the house WON’T smell like rotting carcasses, at least you’ll be mistaken for a serial killer.
Oh, and remember tomorrow is Skull Appreciation Day. Please comment or send me your favorite skulls. I can’t possibly choose between the thousands of skull photos/images I’ve collected so reader submissions are very encouraged!
