The Problem with Avatar Generators

I don’t generally look at movie trailer sites except that those I follow on Twitter have inundated me recommendations to check out the avatar generator for the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie.  I encountered the perennial problem of such tools for me:

Nobody is ever fat, just chubby
Artists rarely allow for a custom dunlop editor

A Mystery Solved, A Mystery Found

On 22 Nov 2008 at 2:22 PM tragedy struck the Internet: the boss picture of a shirtless Mark Twain taking a moment between being America’s greatest humorist and killing wolverines with his mustache.
