How To Beard Yourself Like Brian Wilson

I recognize this is all sorts of Laughing Squid bait, but this particular graphic is not only funny, but McSweeney's is selling an 11”x17” print of this bad boy for a mere $8 so you can hang it “next to your bathroom mirror.”  I presume they want you to hang it there as a reminder not to shave your face, not so you have something to distract yourself while you sit in your bathroom crying about how you've let yourself go over the years.

Sketching the Giants

Speaking of Andy Stattmiller, he also drew these badass caricatures of Brian Wilson and Lincencum.  Andy explains

For the two freaks that won the world series for the town of san francisco! Tim Lincecum(The Freak) and Brian Wilson (Black bearded guy with a mohawk). What ever happened to a nice clean crew cut like the old days? Those darn hippies. Well they can throw fast so I guess I will like them. Oh and did I mention that the won the #$##%$#@ world $#@!$# series!!!? Hats off (really, please remove the hat and rise) to the men who served this fine country with America's Favorite Pastime (baseball).

Not sure why he chose to make Lincencum's lower body look like Gollum's, but I dig it.  Anyway, also be sure to check out his caricature of Buster Posey.

Giants Tribute Mural Goes Up Outside of Kilowatt

This rather confusing celebratory mural just popped up on the corner of 16th and Albion.  On one hand, it pays tribute to the team that just delivered the first World Series championship to the Giants franchise in over fifty years.  But on the other hand, it pulls an Oh San Francisco… move by noting that they are not the “World” champs:

Thanks to the mural, I now know that FREE TIBET! is a country that isn't included in the World Series.

My roommate summed this mural up best, “It's like the had leftover paint so they decided to be smug assholes.”

Even if they are kinda toolish, at least they included Lou Seal.
