as someone who watched the manda lorian show when it was new and managed to enjoy it at the time despite the hype and my disapproval for the streaming platform being paid for by someone in my home, my immediate mental interpretation of the illustration on this object was “gremlin hiding in grimy toilet.” I don’t know what a tub tread is but it probably isn’t meant to be used in this location relative to the tub’s.
counter-intuitively, encanto being reduced to flat colors and simple shapes deprives it of a substantial quantity of disingenuous murderability, though certainly not being able to hear it also helps.
I don’t know what this is for either, but if a scent’s origin is a factory sealed package then it definitely isn’t natural. Maybe this is for scaring animals off your property.
an important rule for using currency portraits to advertise your business: make sure that if you’re going to crop within the existing dark backdrop so that it risks looking like hair and push the contrast so that the shadow under the nose risks looking like a mustache that these don’t combine to read as Hitler when seen from a distance.
yeah
also a good idea: don’t put a cartoon hitler in your official corporate logo. the “stars and stripes” 19th century bed attire isn’t fooling anyone (It also doesn’t makes sense since the stripes are inconsistently oriented between the sleeves and the middle part). even if you later remove the mustache and change the name of your company to “mattress firm” a few years later some creep on the internet is always going to remember.
I think it is telling that Sleepy teams up with two veterans of the Avengers but NOT Captain America. I understand it was mutual; Captain America objected to Sleepy ripping off his aesthetic

Nerd Assault sez:
Ironically, Sleepy looks like a star spangled concentration camp prisoner in that comic cover
Also the mattress looks strangely dirty despite the artist probably not intending it to lol
I always thought Marvel comic artists were somehow both competent and incompetent at drawing

ah I suppose you might be on to something, with the emaciated bony appearance of the bits of exposed skin and exaggerated nasal proportions. Quite amazing how much shaving a mustache can do for a person’s image.
the late 1990s early 2000s blending of traditional ink lining with garish photoglop airbrush coloring never sat very well with me, especially when the coloring could go darker than the black of the lines depending of the light of the environment that the finished pages were viewed in. Although I am not able to maintain longterm interest in the exploits of over-narrated scowling muscle-men either.
