I've enjoyed your work for a while. But this one actually made me laugh out loud. Very nice.

abi said...

Awesome. Best one yet.

Kathy said...

So close, yet so far. Would hate to see the splat below. Nice job Terry!

Average Jane Crafter said...

heh heh heh! I also laughed out loud at this one. ;)

FranMag said...

Very few things on the internet make me actually laugh out loud. This definitely did it. It must be the dark, almost twisted humor in this series. :-)

On with the blather said...

I just knew it was a mistake having Tommy and Timmy the Trapeze Twins work together. Oh, do you hear that sound?!?! That's Lloyd's of London laughing when they heard you wanted to insure the circus and the performers. The ones that are still whole that is...

On with the blather

Are there any peanuts left to perform? Besides the clowns?

Raymond Amarantus said...

He sure had her...but she didn't quite have herself.

Tatman said...

At least we can't blame it on the peanut butter fingers who made the catch. Awesome work as always!

Angie Weid said...

Hysterical!!

Water came out my nose!

AnneMarie said...

My husband doesn't even ask anymore... when I start laughing at my screen he now says, "Bent Objects?" Thank you! :-)

Maureen said...

Those peanuts can be slippery devils... Is the splat below peanut butter?

darla said...

OUCH! Not only did the circus peanut fall to her death, but her poor arms were ripped out of socket as well! Double wammy!!

Brat said...

I also laughed out loud. LOVED it!

Kathie said...

Oh, I soooo needed that laugh today. Thanks! This one's one of my favorites so far.

I'm going to join the ranks of "I laughed out loud" people- have to keep it down lest co-workers ask what is so amusing about spreadsheets though :S

I'm imagining the comic-book-style sound effect that tragic event would make, and the closest I can come up with is "SCHLORP"

Terry said...

Thanks Bent Objects Visitors! Glad you enjoyed it!

Dennis said...

Absolutely hillarious. Thanks for the morning laugh. It's very obvious to me that you could have avoided such a disaster by using a tad bit more wire for the arms...

robertc said...

hehehe! this is gonna stick in my head for days!

Stinkypaw said...

Now that's twisted! Love it!

Justin said...

oh, dang!

Ginger said...

Hehehehehe. "Look Ma, No Arms!" said the peanut not pictured.

Trish said...

I have always loved Calder's circus - - but I actually think I love yours better. Brilliant.

~crazy peanut~ said...

Awwww, poor peanut.

Scary place for peanuts. :(

Hilarious Terry.

oh my god, I cant stop laughing, I'm choking

my oh my said...

Oh this is awesome... as are so many of your bent-humor pieces! Is that one of those weird spongey textured peanut candy treat things?? I haven't seen one in years if it is... I don't even remember what they're called--care to enlighten me?

Yep, this stuff is definitely laugh out loud material... thanks for sharing your wit with us! I'm glad Rhett and Link shared you with us!

I am currently doing a design project on peanuts and when I came across this I almost cried. I LOVE it. Nice work.
