Yaaaaay! Fatality!
Okay, local news anchors of the world… let’s do a little exercise in putting on Serious Reporter Face. Ready? “Ten-car accident on major highway”… frown. “Adopt this puppy!”… smile! “Building collapse”… frown. “Impromptu rooftop concert!”… smile! “Tragic maple syrup spill destroys neighborhood”… frown. “Free maple syrup!”… smile! … Um, Austin market? All right, let’s go […]
I’m really NOT trying to turn this thing into a Subway Outsider Art Blog. Swears.
… but this EDIT! Just one more example of what can happen when a community comes together to get things right. Oh, and p.s. Geoff liked this one better, despite the moustache/chin:
