I thought it was a gravity defying beer stein that had fallen over and was not proceeding to spill out over the top and down the side. That or the result of a tremendous Nazi fart… Couldn’t decide…
Danish flag.
The mermaid statue has been decapitated twice, that would have made a better painting.
Also, Never Again II would have been an appropriate title then.
I may have just bought this.
I mean, 30 dollars plus 20 for shipping isn’t THAT bad. I mean, I just spend at least 300 dollars on supplies and tools making a costume for a video game convention.
I’m looking, but I can’t locate the Island of Dr. Moreau on there anywhere.. Whick is starting to make me think my cruise tickets *may* have been fake.
Thank-you, I thought I was the only one. I kept scrolling through the comments hoping it would all make sense. If it hadn’t been for the cute dog and cat painting I wouldn’t have made it this far.
You only need enough Minta for your alterna-feul scooter to get there. They give it away in Perkele (at least according to the internet sources I’ve been using). And then you’ll have enough to get home.
Ha, well they called Turksyraq – Syraq — If the intent was to stop wars, I beg to differ. I have relatives in Turksyraq who are up in arms over this now.
I think they’re doing that as a favor to the mapmakers because it keeps getting invaded and renamed. Next to the original map there’s a pad of Post-its and a pencil tied to a piece of string on the wall.
Now if only someone would do a painting of Kim Kardashian’s ginormous ass hovering over television and media of all kinds. That’s a tragedy we should never forget nor allow to happen again.
All together now!
You put your left foot in, you put your left foot out;
You put your left foot in, then you goose-step it about;
You do the Nazi Pokey and you make a quick buck off the suffering of millions;
That’s what it’s all about!
Oddly enough, this tour de force has inspired me to create my own painting, not to cause upset but to remember this painting so that such an eyesore never happens again.
Living in Germany is hell!!! Never again!! Also, you can’t sell this there and the wouldn’t have any idea what it was for anyway. I think I met 2 people under the age 30 who knew about that. Can’t remember what you don’t know.
I don’t know what kind of people you talked to but they either drank away their entire youth or never made it past 5th grade. The third Reich is THE central topic in history class and additionally there’s a shit ton of obligatory literature you have the pleasure of reading. I’m almost afraid to ask, where the hell were you? Tiefer Osten?
yep, I’m living in Hungary right now, and I searched with high hopes, then felt deflated and sad. That’s ok, I’ll go back to Australia soon, and that’s almost like Austria, right??
The artist claims she has no desire to keep bringing up the holocaust, (she just needs to chew more anatacid tablets) but she does offer a lovely little concentration camp study on Page 2 of her shop, the “Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Holocaust Memorial Painting” showing the gates to Sachsenhausen with “Arbeit Macht Frei.” What fun. Guaranteed to cheer up any cosy fireplace mantel.
be kind to me, I am but a lurker who was finally entrapped into joining……dear god, between the Schecter kurfluffle and the never again topic I peed my pants about 15 times.
I squealed with joy when I saw Arkham Island on the Regretsy map. The Batnerd in me loves you more because of that, April. I’d love to own the Regretsy map so I can put or on some barnwood that was upcycled from a steampunk Amish family’s barn.

I burst out laughing when I saw Isla Nublar on the map. Jurassic Park reference FTW!
April 25, 2012 at 11:54 am
Q’arth and Pyke made me happy, Arkham and Mordor made me happier, Shang Tsung’s Island made me happiest.
Isla Nublar put me in tears, because nothing beats Jurassic Park.

Oh, it is. And our first lady is even *gasp* down with a stomach bug. Horrible business.

the title of this painting means that “Never Again 1″ was a lie. Because there it is, again.

If Pyke was really that close to Isla Nublar, maybe the Greyjoys would have actually won the uprising. Velociraptors > farmers with spears.

April 25, 2012 at 12:57 pm
And the Swiss flag on her boobies. Yea that says “Never again” right there.
April 25, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Danish flag.
The mermaid statue has been decapitated twice, that would have made a better painting.
Also, Never Again II would have been an appropriate title then.
April 25, 2012 at 1:06 pm
To the artist’s credit, the famous statue does have a weird leg/tail combo.
April 25, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Aha, thank you for pointing that out.
April 25, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Granted, it doesn’t make the rest of the painting ok. But if we’re going to be FJLs, we should strive to be accurate FJLs.
April 25, 2012 at 1:55 pm
The artist’s concept was to capture the little mermaid at the moment of transformation.
TMYK!
April 26, 2012 at 3:30 am
Must’ve been a long process, she looks pretty bored.
I guess I just imagined a much more spectacular physical response, just like when I transformed into a mermaid when I was a kid. Yup.
April 25, 2012 at 2:05 pm
But at least now she’s finally put something on and gotten a sensible haircut.
April 25, 2012 at 2:30 pm
Sensible haircut? I thought that was a painting of the moment the little mermaid transformed into a fucking werewolf.
April 25, 2012 at 9:34 pm
Since when has a “Dorothy Hamill” been a “sensible haircut.” It was a pain in the ass even in 1978.
April 25, 2012 at 2:41 pm

I may have just bought this.
I mean, 30 dollars plus 20 for shipping isn’t THAT bad. I mean, I just spend at least 300 dollars on supplies and tools making a costume for a video game convention.
It’s going in my bathroom. I can’t wait.

This looks like Sasquatch with a haircut and a bikini.

You only need enough Minta for your alterna-feul scooter to get there. They give it away in Perkele (at least according to the internet sources I’ve been using). And then you’ll have enough to get home.

He slipped on the body pile and fell. And that’s why it’s important to keep your workplace clean and bloodless. Safety first, people.
April 25, 2012 at 12:25 pm
He’s groaning in agony from having multiple fractures and dislocations of his tibia, fibula and talus!

Hitler walked that way because he’s *singing* “only got one ball.”
As it turns out, the Nazi hierarchy was very testicularly challenged.

You know, it’s so easy to project onto a canvas and trace. There’s just no excuse for drawing the coastline of Macegaria all fuckily like that.

The artist claims she has no desire to keep bringing up the holocaust, (she just needs to chew more anatacid tablets) but she does offer a lovely little concentration camp study on Page 2 of her shop, the “Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Holocaust Memorial Painting” showing the gates to Sachsenhausen with “Arbeit Macht Frei.” What fun. Guaranteed to cheer up any cosy fireplace mantel.
