Fuzzy Coconut: Birth of an icon
What better way to test the blog's ability to handle images than to do a quick little write up on Fuzzy Coconut and the creation of a new logo for it. Shawn whipped this little guy up out of the ether, and we all bashed heads on it and tweaked him this way and that to finally settle in on this final look for him. I suppose I could go into a long bit about concepts and composition and impact, but I think I'm just going to let him stand for himself.
That is, if it's indeed a him. I'd look between his/her legs to check, but well, there are no legs. So I'll just cave into male-dominated linguitudination and call him a he. Yes, it did occur to me that he can't rightly 'stand' if he's got no legs. But rather than spending much more time discussing the semantics of my verbiage than I have on the actual 'nut, I'll just leave it at that.
The 'nut, by the way, is his official appellation.

You stupid bastard!
You've got no arms left!
Yes I have!
No you haven't!
Right! I'll have you for that! Come back here, you!
Come back here!
I'll bite your kneecaps off!
What the?
Is that one in the bottom left, the blue one with the yellow stripe... is it? uh... phallic?
hee hee
The kids were calling that car "the penguin car," so I never once thought of anything but penguin. But now that you mention it, it is a bit on the phallic side, isn't it?
Whatever it is, it was one of the fast ones. That car really screwed! (no pun intended)
Looking back
Ya know, I really miss the pinewood derby. That was typically a good time and a lot of fun to prep for.
Fender skirts are probably what really helped the stang i would guess. If you sand down the wheels and the axels, you'll bet better speed.
