The animator's original sketch for the character was known round the office as "that dang wang doodle"

I guess the people who made Caillou found more work.

This is just Plastic Man or Mr. Fantastic, but with artists brave enough to follow their art where it leads. Like dogs led by a cock.

Having just skimmed the first episode, I see that it's really more of an appendage that happens to come out of his groin. There's nothing really penile about it. If he were putting out third-story fires with his somewhat-longer-than-normal penis, that's be something else.

Technically Elastigirl could also have given herself a similar appendage.

That's because you're used to old world penises, which tend not to be prehensile. Think outside the box.

If it come from the groin and is prehensile, what else could it be?

There was once a "caption the New Yorker cartoon" where the prompt was two guys talking at the bar, and one of them had a giant lizard tail laying out behind him. My favorite caption was: "Easy! I just put my pants on backwards!"

Maybe they got the idea from the SNL commercial for three legged jeans.

11 to 9, but now I wish I'd gone with, "Well, what were you typing with?"

Yes, that would have been the best.

Obviously the result of overly vigorous hand-stretching.

Trump getting banned from Twitter and then going to tweet on a bunch of sock puppet accounts and getting those banned too is the most hilarious thing to happen since he got COVID.

So, what does it take for Denmark to hit the internet big time...? The Danish Commentariat has had a party, in case you wonder.

Anyway, today a Danish newspaper asked some kids in the target group (4-8 years) what they thought about the programme. Some found it funny, others were less impressed. And all of their reactions reflected the childish curiousness about the body, you would expect, but nothing remotely sexual. One of the kids uses the name for the female organ to describe where John D.'s appendix is placed on his body. The male/female thing is a bit fluent in that age.

(Oh, and we have other stuff happening in Denmark right now. Like the question if a former minister should be prosecuted for her acts in office, and if the main opposition party is blowing itself up. Nothing like last week's events in Washington, though.)

There's been a Danish meet-up, but not a Nebraska one.

5. "That'd be something else."

Yes, it would be plagiarizing Jonathan Swift.
