There _might_ be some people here, Idle\_Thoughts who know what and specifically who my avatar is, but they’d be pretty few and far between. ---

Don’t mean to criticize @Idle_Thoughts , but you’re not real clever with this little project. You’re not very good at it. It’s an idea that sounded better in your head, it seems. What are you gonna say about the blank white squares or just letters? There is that one sideways “S” avatar. What the heck is that? And what about the back of @ThelmaLou s head? You could say a mop that just cleaned up a murder scene, but it might be hurtful to Thelma. Frought with danger. This is. But, I love it, none the less. 😀 ---

Correct! It was from one of their promotional ads. Something about a sacred cow displaying something grotesque appealed to me. ---

There _is_ a bit of a resemblance. Both Srulik and the Smurfs were created about the same time - the former in 1956, the latter in 1958 - and were both influenced by the Ligne Clair style: > **[Ligne claire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_claire)** > > Ligne claire (French: \[liɲ(ə) klɛːʁ\]; Dutch: klare lijn \[ˈklaːrə ˈlɛin\]; both meaning "clear line") is a style of drawing created and pioneered by Hergé, the Belgian cartoonist and creator of The Adventures of Tintin. It uses clear strong lines sometimes of varied width and no hatching, while contrast is downplayed as well. Cast shadows are often illuminated, and the style often features strong colours and a combination of cartoonish characters against a realistic background. The name was coine... In other words, I blame Tintin. ---

My avatar is of Al Pacino from the Godfather. If you removed the starched collar and put on a T shirt it would look exactly like me in real life. You might walk past me on the street and say, “that was Dallas Jones.” ---

I don’t really know any famous skeletons, I guess I would have just guessed skeleton. I mean that’s all I have, I can’t really tell you anything more specific than that because I don’t know.
