I love how it looks like the comb is cowering.

Spinning Girl said...

oh, now that is priceless!

Grumpy said...

A typo recenty resulted in me referring to a champagne cock. Now if anyone can make one of those, you can! You up for it?

brotha man said...

by "racial stereotype", do you mean a kid with basketball skills and a "jew fro" dunking over an asian kid with long, coiffed hair?

Terry said...

Brotha man- you are extremely perseptive!

Grumpy- that would be one for the Really Bent sight for sure.

Spinnin' girl- not at all, I hope to put a price on it one day!

Q- He is indeed intimidated.

Andi said...

Love it!! I visit your site almost everyday to get a smile -- and I'm never disappointed!

ElizT said...

Me too!

L.Bo Marie said...

lol
but how is he hanging there? or is that the reason the edge of his hand is missing from the photo?

On with the blather said...

Slam dunk again! **crowd goes wild**

Do you ever run out of ideas? I hope not. Anxiously awaiting your next creation.

butterfly said...

LMAO -- my belly hurts! ;-)

Too bad the plain comb isn't white -- that would reinforce the joke of the stereotype...could be a quick easy change though!

dribble, dribble.

Maureen said...

Great, as always...where the heck did you find the tiny bball hoop?

Terry! You're amazing! I've added you to my blog as one of the folks I visit often. Come see me - I've just started with my blog, but I'm sure I'll have lots of material to work with soon!

Fantabulous as always, Terry. I think it's amazing how you make the objects have facial expressions without them actually having proper faces. Does that make sense?

KimberlyDi said...

I agree that the comb should have been white. :)

spleenal said...

that dude's really getting air

excellent stuff as usual

Tony said...

The hair pick kicks butt! It reminds me of Spaceballs when they're "combing the desert" and the white guys are all using combs and the black dudes are using a pick!

mackeydoodle said...

Your photography of your creations is awesome too!

Terry said...

Tony- I completely forgot about that scene. Funny movie.

Other answers to other questions-

No, I really don't think I'll run out of ideas at this point. At least I hope not.

And I think if I painted it white, that would be over the top. I'll like the subtler version here.

ginni said...
