It looked too new… and yeah… I searched it.

It’s by a digital artist who goes by Rodolforever

In May, 2009, he posted on Deviant Art.com.:

“ART DECO BATMAN”

“What if …a BATMAN movie were released on the early 40`s?
Mixing some modern advertising TECHNIQUES and a CLASIC art deco visual style I created this promotional poster for a fictional movie”

I do like the lines. But it’s the font that really stands out.

Yeah, my brother was bitten by one, pectoralis major muscle (upper chest). Severe problems for months – eventually had to have surgery to remove masses of dead tissue.

I was thinking it could be a tattoo right down to the shadows …I’ve seen a few but not many with this much detail on the spider itself.

According to Google, it’s a real photo…

And according to both my search and the file name, it’s part of a collection called “Why Would You Touch That?”

Good question.

This one has a bit of a modern repro look, too… but actually, it’s just ahead of its time…

“My heart is white.” … That’s sad.

I have very high respect for the indigenous peoples of our continent. You’re correct – that comment is sad. Considering the era of that poster, I can only hope that the people who created it came to see it as sad as well.

I did a Google AI search:

You are likely referring to Miyo-wîcihtowin (spelled Moo-chi-wi-in-es in some English phonetics or older regional variations), a core teaching in Plains Cree. It translates to “the importance of good communication, kindness, and respect to achieve unity”.

You know, I did the same search and never got that result.

Just the hyphenated phrase got me a rather unrelated Asian food.

When I tried adding Native Americam, another unrelated term.

With First Nations, closer, but not as close as you got… And it was a link to the Salish. Not the Plains Cree. I gave up cos I didn’t know enough to figure it out.

The Canadian Patriotic Fund (CPF) was a major private relief organization established in 1914 by Montreal businessman and Member of Parliament Sir Herbert Ames. Created to supplement government separation allowances, it raised and distributed nearly $50 million to support the wives and dependents of Canadian soldiers serving overseas during World War I. Distributed by local volunteers, the fund provided basic monthly grants (typically $5 to $10 per month, plus child allowances) to prevent poverty among military families. The fund operated through widespread public subscriptions, municipal grants, and massive propaganda and poster campaigns.
Not surprising to see all peoples of Canada featured on the funding posters.

I’m not surprised, I’m glad to see all people’s of Canada involved.

I’m sad to see that he, or more probably the copywriters, of that time, thought that meant his heart was white, or that “brown” people couldn’t support it without proclaiming themselves to be white, as though it were only a white cause, or that “brown” opinions didn’t matter.

There was such a lack of racial pride, but I think it’s better today.

Ah, Yes, and True. It is sad.
But this was back in the day when only the “privileged” mattered. When even women’s suffrage was still evolving, Canada passed the right for women to vote in 1918, 1920 in USA. Different times. Different views. Some lives “were cheap”. It was the norm, then. Life changes you…Just watch an episode of Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In… Even the Old Testament would come under close scrutiny if you wanted to.

Thankfully, we all have evolved, somewhat, but there are still miles to go before thy rest…

Took a minute to realize it’s a puzzle.

D’oh.

In fact I think I’ve even done it before… maybe here, maybe elsewhere… but I didn’t recognize it.

Find the objects on the right.

I outlined them in yellow but they were hard to see, so I put in the white squares…. Hope you can see them now!

As a guy who has literally dropped wires through the ceiling (at work) and down the inside walls like this, I can honestly say this offends me. I mean, yeah, in our run-down corporate office no one cared. But this is unforgivable.

Nighthawks.. . Usually you re-post the GIF on the comments in case it doesn’t work, but it works, so I don’t need it… though i like having it there, as a place to comment.

Tonight you didn’t do that, and it isn’t working.

Oh… It’s a .webp, not a .gif.

It’s not working as an animation on Android.

Are the rest of you seeing it?

Not working in Edge in Windose.

Works in Edge in Windows here.

Unless you have a lot of extensions, custom home pages, etc. set up in Edge, you could try a reset to factory defaults. I’ve had to do that recently so maybe that’s why mine is working and yours isn’t.

You were looking at it a few hours after Nighthawks had replaced the non-woking webp file with a gif.

Nobody needs to reset… the gif works om WordPress. The .webp didn’t.

Is that a “defensive” or “offensive” weapon Cleo has used? Seems pretty offensive to me…
