Took it as a template to improve upon. But all my diddles look lamer than the original by Paul Gradenwitz. "_ This one is not so bad. .-'`-.

Is it still too early to make a call for rehabilitation of PC? Actually I think his "trollishless" Frogstein and Birdstein episodes are rather funny. Not ROFL or LOL, but they made me smile.

Actually there are more "hidden messages" in this pic. The iconowotsit has got something to do with the Dutch legend of Sint Nicolaas (not entirely the same as Santa Claus). The story goes "Saint Nicholas" is an archbishop in Spain. He sets sail to the Dutch shores in November, and celebrates his birthday on December 5 by giving presents to children (don't ask why he "gives" presents... it's a legend): ?A` |M] |H, is Saint Nicholas ("Sint Nicolaas" aka "Sinterklaas") /b. ,==y' ;|\ |> is his conveyance (a horse: "De Schimmel") In this -- still very much alive story amongst parents and children in the Netherlands and Belgium -- Saint Nicholas has a team of servants of African descent ("Moors"). Dunno why Paul (PGMG) did not pay hommage to them. Maybe because of "political correctness"... > Below is another one from PGMG. > > > _ > `o' _._(_( > ' ` _|_(_(/| > (/_((_( /\ > _ _ ___________ _ , -- . _ _______/}_((_(/__)_ > `-. \`. ,-' .^. `-. ~ ~\\_______/ > `'. `-.). /,-''"', `""``-.\ ~ > `. `. : : / | : : ~ ~ > `. ` ,,--'--..|_ > .-""-. /, .' ,' """ ""-- > -.__ \| - PGMG > What's the story behind this pic?
