Breakfast, Parra, 2010

I've been holding off on posting this.

On one hand, I love Parra's drawing style. I love his bird-faced characters, the way he renders bodies, and his typography.

And I do confess a certain fondness for cannibalism, as a satirical theme.

On the other, even though I know this is supposed to be tongue in cheek and funny... it's a little bit misogynist. Just a touch. Uncomfortable.

It reminds me why I don't do the whole... look, if you were to ask me if I wanted to go "clubbing" my response would be "Oh, I didn't realize you had seals around here!"

So, this looks really cool, but you've been warned. Oh, and it's NSFW.
