After David Cerny’s shamelessly derivative attempt recently, those noble souls at sickcomic.com show us how it’s done. I’m sure Magritte would have approved.
I particularly like the tag line, which poses a neat conundrum for those knucklehead fundamentalists trying to work out whether they should be offended or not. The more time they spend wrestling with the resulting ice-cream headaches, the less time they have for butchering hostages. There’s just no down side so far as I can see.
Last time I checked, the artist was still alive. Still, I shouldn’t start any long books if I were him…

Tobacco's a stimulant. The Wahhabites and Temperance Societies have issued a fatwa on you, Ivan.
I've told them you're on Bush's ranch and collected my seven-George-Clooneys-in-heaven voucher.
The conundrums of thought have never been a favorite pastime of any mullah, Ivan. Had it been so, they'd be doing something more productive these days. I guess in the end, before their heads explode, they're gonna decide whether it's blasphemous or not by tossing a coin.

I knew the mullahs would be too tempting a target for you, Ivan. When a giant bumbling elephant keeps crossing the path of a game-hunter, there's a limit to the amount of restraint one can expect. I still like Sinbad the Sailor, though.
No worries, Aunty - if they head to W's ranch, Cheney'll get 'em for sure. Better read the small print on those Clooney vouchers, tho' - you might think you're getting ER and instead end up with Syriana...
You're right, Des - it was a vain hope. They probably wouldn't even bother with the coin, come to that, although the 9/11 hijackers were apparently partial to a bit of "spin the bottle".
And hi GB - good to have you back! Yes, every now and then I succumb. I thought I could take it or leave it alone, but I admit that I have a problem. Now I've bravely owned up to "my blogging hell", can a fat cheque from the "Hello!" be far behind?
Ivan,
You make an appearance in my post for 2/27/06 for better or worse.
Cheers.
Hi Randall - seen it :) What's a "tag"?
