Heigh ho

 


If you ever wondered what a dystopian Dopey would look like, just ask AI.  I have to admit that the result was much more compelling and disturbing than I could have imagined.  I can only imagine what the other six dwarves would look like in a dystopian world.


This version is slightly less sinister but still it is probably closer to how the Brothers Grimm envisioned the dwarves who shacked up with Snow White.  I am hoping Disney doesn't discover my grim portrayal of their beloved Dopey. Though I'm not the one who named him Dopey in the first place. But "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was released in 1937 when it was more acceptable to make fun of simple people and give them names that Donald Trump would be proud of bestowing. I'd like to think my DysDopey is ready to get some payback.

It goes without saying that I doubt I'll be selling too many DysDopey or DysDopeyia t-shirts. They would make great inspirational posters for the workplace for people sick of teamwork makes the dream work posters.


This is another one I doubt will be a big seller since people are squeamish about lice. But I really liked the pun. You would think I would be popular with the Goth set if there is still such a thing. I'd like to think I'm not stuck in one genre though (other than questionable puns). I started one today with an image of a railroad crossing sign with an icon of Jesus carrying a cross through the crossing. Something about it just wasn't working though so I gave up. I might revisit it if I can think of a new angle for it. Or I'll resurrect it for Easter.

I can't even control the puns at times. Reminds me of a standup comic I saw years ago who would tell a truly tasteless joke and then say, "I've gone too far haven't I?"

I'll end for the evening with a couple of more lighthearted designs I came up with for cows wearing Aluminum foil hats.



I don't think these should alienate anyone.
