Disturbing Charlie Brown by Tim O’Brien

detail of Tim O'Brien's disturbing realistic painting of Charlie Brown

If you haven’t seen Tim O’Brien’s “Chuck Brown” painting, you are definitely missing out. It is disturbing on so many levels that I can’t even begin to count them.

What’s most disturbing for me, as someone whose college nicknames were Eeyore and Charlie Brown, is that a real-life Charlie Brown would really look this demented. Did I ever look this much like a serial killer in training? Do I now? Man, all I’m sure of after seeing this is that I need to smile more.

that’s the biggest upper lip I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait till he grows up and grows a mustache.

Ha! That’d be even creepier. But what kind of mustache would it be? Thin or bushy?

I can’t stop coming back to the page to look at this monstrosity. It has a horrifying, yet alluring, quality to it.

Well, that’s the goal of any good Website, right? To keep you coming back for more!

Glad you’re getting a kick out of it.

O.K., seriously, it’s time for a new top post.  Charlie’s creeping me out every time I come here.  I’ll start working on something.

Hehe… Well, it did get moved down today, though I’m happy to post anything you’d like to whip up.
