Surely you jest

This just in: Caricatures have exaggerated facial features!


Just when I thought you couldn't surprise me, Tom, you say something like that.

Am I being too subtle with this hint?: It's as plain as the nose on your face.

Not that you should need a hint, and certainly not if you make your living as an graphic designer and illustrator. What's obvious even to the untrained eye ought to stand out in stark relief in the eyes of a professional.

Or are you truly oblivious to the recurring thrusting-cylinder spurting-flame motif in the examples of your work you've posted?

It's possible that you're a savant who arrived at that technique independently (through introspection? A mysterious urging from your subconscious?). It's nevertheless true that commercial graphic designers consciously and routinely manipulate symbolism, relying heavily but not exclusively on sexual symbols (always easy and reliable)...

But we've been down this road before and run into the same brick wall. It's just astounding that you can't perceive things like this even with an example as stark and blatant as we see here.

Your third paragraph begins "Get serious, Robert.", but for the life of me, I can't figure out who or what you're arguing with or about in that paragraph. Did you not read my response "Yep" below?
