OT: Poor Pinocchio

[millsie]

This is sort of inspired by Jerry's post on Cartoon Brew (http://www.cartoonbrew.com/cartoon-culture/cartoon-culture) about cartoon culture. I saw this 'street art' in Melbourne ages ago and have been meaning to post it for a while. I guess Pinocchio's lies finally caught up with him.

We find it somewhere, even here.
In the past in a alley of my city, i seen a Asterix graffiti art but sadly, they removed it.

I think the most touching is from Warner and Hanna-Barbera cartoons characters. A restaurant we got here http://www.st-hubert.ca. I still wonder the bird mascot, is it a original character or a Woody or Road Runner rip-off? Sometimes, it's hard to tell if it's a original or not.

Where I live, there's a waste disposal service out of Petersburg, MI, Stevens Disposal (http://www.stevensdisposal.com), that has been using Taz as it's mascot for some years now. Here's the best pics I could find out there...

It's not even a funny "joke." There has to be some sort of logic to a joke, no matter how ironic. PINOCCHIO is made of wood. How could his nose grow into a hangman's chain? The closest related image would have been a rope out of which would come the noose, and that would be really "stretching" it.

Minor league baseball's Jamestown Jammers once had a logo with an animal
inspired by Taz. It now has a bunch of grapes, anthropomorphized (yes,
seriously) as a logo.

The "Tasmanian Devil" inspired logo:

A friend told me about St-Hubert awhile ago and I went to one in Quebec,
once, probably in Ville de Richilieu (off Autoroute 10)

Such a weird image on it's own, but then, that's what graffiti is about.

Somehow you can't click of it from this link as it gives a "forbidden" message. Other than that, I had to search that page for that to see. That's not a bad logo and it doesn't look exactly like Taz at all.

For "graffiti," this is far too skilled and deliberate. It's not really a joke nor a satire. I guess we are not "in" on the idea behind it.

Really. I have no ideas what this could mean at all (and nothing like the gang symbols I've seen scrolled all over town).
