A Happy Octopus New Year!

Now this is what I call a party!
Octopus love
This touching depiction of cephalopod love in the fatal style of Romeo and Juliet was painted by Brandi Milner and passed along by Mistress Cowfish, at whose lovely tiki bar I, myself, spent a happy New Year’s Eve. It’s a darn good thing she’s fond of him, even though he appears to be dying (for the fatal biology of the case, see The Little Mermaid) because fighting off eight arms is not a pleasant task, particularly if you’ve been drinking. Such a shame they must be separated by death.
It’s positively cephalopoignant.

  1. It’s the hats that add that special touch of poignancy. If you click on the pic, you’ll get to a whole gallery of her paintings, and they’re all this strange mix of kitsch and tragedy.

  2. I got tired of the red one and have been meaning to switch it back for some time. Then Metro sent me the spiffy Squid blog badge, and I had to use that and am out of text widgets, so something had to go. Turkey will just have to live without me.

  3. Ok, that is it. You need to come clean and explain, with much candor, what the hell is so appealing about those things? I mean, it’s a beautiful pic, but I’d much rather dance with Hello Kitty.
