The Continuing Misfortunes of Simple Graphics Man ~
#7: The Treacherous Pavement (in which SGM loses his footing whilst imagining fresh apricots and cream)
You’d think that SGM would start to watch where he was going after awhile. Maybe he needs to get his eyes checked.
Maybe this is more of a statement *about* SGM, and he’s dancing with delight at his own slick self.
WV: arblgle, terse form of Arblogyle, the varicolored pattern formed by blog-threads woven together across different sites. See also ‘meme.’
Poor guy. He probably didn’t even see it coming. Wait, does SGM have eyes at all?
The sign doesn’t say anything about pavement. Perhaps Simple Graphics Man is the slippery one.
In related news, Simple Graphics Man does his civic duty.
Hmm. Good point Joe. He also has rather low-traction feet now that I look at it. And Anne Arkham – I don’t want you casting aspersions on SGM. He has a tough life.
Rob – SGM is very socially responsible. Just extremely unlucky.
Also of note is the fact that SGM’s arms are proportionally ridiculous in this photo. Compare his uppper arms to his thighs. Absurd. Perhaps, though, this is merely a trick of the lens. Someone else may be able to illuminate us on devices that may cause such a distortion.
He was probably just very upset over the Simple Graphics Baby airbag incident.
Or he’s *not* upset over the SGB airbag incident. Yeah, I’m still thinking this is Dancing SGM.
All he needs is a top hat in that upraised arm of his. Dancing SGM. Yeah. And Anne, love your remark about him being the slippery one. :)
