Something Awful fan art is something to behold. As the saying goes, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. With these pictures, words such as bizarre, strange, odd, and curious, come immediately to mind. To illustrate this point, one need only skim through the collection. In one House-themed work, Dr. Lisa Cuddy holds a feline-version of Dr. House by the scruff of his neck. In another picture, Sonic the Hedgehog snuggles up to a woman in tender embrace. Another picture, portrays Hank Hill as a cat, sleeping soundly in an equally dozy Gandalph’s lap.
Something Awful fan art takes what are to many people, endearing and enduring characters and strips them of all familiarity. This may be jarring to some, but it also reveals a certain malleable, play-dough like quality of pop culture.
