Happy New Year
I was Googling pictures of Victorian New Years for our blog for today and this came up.
What the hell is this? A potato? With eyes or are those warts? Why? Doesn’t this make you wonder what the hell was going on with the Victorians? Is this potato supposed to be scary or funny or what? Why would a potato need an umbrella? I get the hat – obviously, but an umbrella? Why is it such an ugly potato? Surely there were cuter potatoes to model this drawing after.
I am unbelievably disturbed by this picture. I believe another drink is in order.
Maybe that was the whole point.
Well, whatever. Happy New Year.
