"De-pants of the Sugar Plump Fairies"
Christmas 2003
Some people rolled their eyes; others didn't get the joke. But I didn't care because I thought the picture was great. Not only did I get away with drawing Erik in that same pair of boxer shorts, but I got to use a really BAD pun of a title. Of course I also like the Travelling Wilburys and thought "Birds of Prey" was a great television show so perhaps my tastes are a bit askew. But screw it - I like it!
Now I'm not saying there wasn't anybody who DID like it because there was a handful of people with class. My point is the cons far outweighed the pros. And if they weren't rolling their eyes or scratching their heads, they threw me comments such as "Those don't look like Pixies" and "After five years, don't you think Erik should throw those boxers out and wearing something new?".
Yeah, they have a problem with Erik in boxers but Crispie in a thong is perfectly fine. Talk about mixed-up priorities. - Jake
