Look carefully at the logo on the page below. Think of freudian symbols used  
in advertising. Now look past the huge carrot being fondled by the girl  
bunny. Know the ancient origin of the “valentine heart” fertility symbol?

Is this cartoonist twisted… OR AM I ?!!

After running a comic book store for awhile, I conclude that most  
cartoonists are VERY twisted.

And very symbol-aware.

And did you notice that the larger end of the carrot is smiling?
