A Picture Truly Is Worth A 1000 Words

Although we can easily provide over a thousand words 

- and that is wherever it may be: above surface 

or twenty-thousand leagues under the sea! 

But we shall let the image speak for itself -

this time...

The Real Little Mermaid - by Cameon 

Our favorite entry into a contest 

the object of which was to create the image 

of a recognizable cartoon character 

the closest possible to ''reality'' as he, she 

or it may look like...

We can certainly hope Cameon won!

There are more notable entries - here 

and here.

Invariably, the most impressive 

and well-done renditions 

are aquatic characters indeed...!

How aquamusing is that, n'est-ce pas?

(Or, as I would have said in another life 

- or merely another epoch, really- 

what-a-coincidence!)

All right, all right... all right!

We have thought of you, 

the seafaring hot-blooded sailor type 

for whom those Simpsons-eyes 

(Jessica, her sister or Marge?)

do absolutely nothing 

and fish tails leave cold, too...

We have thought of you guys 

and we therefore supply you 

some eye candy 

you will deem far more worthy 

of  the title of 

``Aquaficionada`` ...

There you go... Happy, sailor men?

Huh? 

MORE?

YOU WANT MORE?

Oh, all right...

Still no word whether ``Sophie`` there got her wish...

Let`s not go there!
