[Avatars] What's with the cartoon faces?

WanderingMonster · Mar 6, 2004

Where do these guys come from? They seem to be in vogue at the moment, so by the time I manage to find out about it it'll be considered trite.

If you don't know what I'm talking about—but really, how could you not?—see Teflon Billy's, Eric Noah's, and 100 others' avatar pics.

Nevermind!

As I already have a cartoon for my avatar, I think I will resist this trend for now.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

I turned mine into an animated gif. It's subtle.

Ooh, I like! It is subtle, but it's worth taking a minute or two to watch... :lol:

You mean this right?

Lame joke aside I really wanted to comment on the gif. Very cool.

Bwahahah! Giving email addies is for lamers, everyone else do like this:

1. Do your funny cartoon face;
2. Hit Ctrl+Print Screen;
3. Fires up Paint (or similar) and hit Ctrl-V;
4. Move and crop the image to keep only the funny face;
5. File, Save-as.
