putting a face to the name...

so some of you may have read e's blog about the new statue near us and how it was referred to as a "fat midget, on a fat pony."



as true of an assessment as that is, i couldn't help but think the little rolly-polly man looked a bit more like a fat baby. i tried to express this to people, but, as you probably guessed, it's a little tough to articulate the fat baby image one has in their head, so imagine my elation when i found this photo.



i really believe this fat-with-an-f baby may have been the inspiration for clayton's new statue. although, i'm not so sure that the man he's riding was the model for the horse.
