LOOKIN' GOOD GARY!
Sometimes when you're working on something, you get side tracked. If you're me, that happens more often than not.
Months back at work, I was given the task of doing a complete revamp of a kids site, including new icons and art for all the pages, including a jokes page.
Now what shows more joy than a laughing, happy smiley face? Not a damn thing! So that's what I did. I crafted some stereo-typical yellow face with soulless, dead eyes...and then I gave him teeth...then hair...
"...mah gawd...." crept out of my bearded face as corners of my mouth began to lift. Before too long, I had a full-on, stupid grin going while trying to hold by my childish giggles while I made an innocent little smile into that thing above. Oh how I was proud of my work...
Needless to say, they didn't go for Mr. Busey being a potential spokesmen for their product, let alone their kids division.
I tried again, but they said he was still a bit creepy... maybe Mr. Busey just kept haunting their dreams after that and they couldn't see smiley faces the same way again...
'I'll eat yer soul!'
Guess you can't please everyone...
Until next time,
-Dave
