Charles Eubanks - Hands

A genre mashup of sorts.  Extra points to anyone who can guess the four species whose appendages are pictured.

What a fabulous idea! My guess for the team's hands: child, frog, snake and goat although I like the idea that my snake guess could be a tentacle from a reptilian like alien.

Awesome. I feel like I should know the hand on the right. It looks familiar, but I can't place it.

HA! I love this! I'm pretty sure it goes unicorn, Cthulhu, the alien from that short film that comes before Ratatouille (Lifted) and then Bart Simpson.
I WIN!

Adam Heine said...

Lifted! That's it! I don't know about Cthulhu though, unless that's one of his face tentacles.

Good guesses, everyone! The correct answers are: human, unicorn, Cthulu, and (drum roll please...) T. Rex! (The fact that it only had two fingers was supposed to be a hint, but maybe that's too obscure.) I was originally going to caption this something like "Department of Human/Unicorn/Cthulu/Tyrannosaur Relations," but couldn't think of a good way to word it. Guess I'm more of a picture person than a word person!

Good point Adam re. the face tentacle. I always thought he had tentacle arms. Guess I need to read more Lovecraft!

To be fair, the descriptions (at least from that post I linked to) are unclear as to Cthulhu's hands. I think he's usually depicted with like Swamp Thing hands, but for all we know, he's got tentacles everywhere.

Charles,

Nice...reminded me of the old comic "Family Circus". I would have guessed goat too.
