And now a moment you've all been waiting for ...

Presenting Poofy Fourth Street, sidekick to my alter ego Aqua Man Edna:

This was drawn by the ever-awesome Megadeus. The exact wording of my art request was: "an octopus riding on the back of a seahorse, wielding a sword, shield, ray gun, and whatever other weaponry comes to mind, dressed in shining armor with bell bottoms. And a cape." I blame the comments on this post for my making such an insane request - but he took it and I'd say did a spectacular job. :D

Oh, it looks much better when scaled to that size. I'm glad you enjoy it ^_^

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!1one!1

I love it when, as a collective group, we take things waaaay too far.

Let us not make this a throbbing zombie Poofy Fourth Street.

Nice avatar.

I saw a street vendor in Fukuoka advertising Tako Yaki with something remarkably similar to that.

Still didn't tempt me away from my squid-on-a-stick. Grilled squid is the bomb. Tako Yucki is not.

I can't believe you're talking about grilling Poofy! He's so cute, and you'd fillet him, baste him and plop him on a grill? (Or her...)

Protect the octopi from exploitation!

Jeri - Tako Yaki is a sort of crab cake, except instead of crab meat, you use octopus. Even at it's freshest, octopus is a little chewy. So Poofy is safe from me.

But the Tako Yaki vendors often emblazon their stalls with cartoon octopithat look a lot like Poofy.

Well. Wow. I'm just...speechless.

Not really.

Bwahahahahaha!

No Cape!

Anybody ever watch the Nickelodeon show "The Fairly Oddparents?" It's one of my guilty pleasures.

After I was done drawing it, I realized, "Wow, that face looks like their anime-parody style from the Channel Chasers episode."

I love it, megadeus! You did a wonderful job. I also love that Poofy's form was born out of one of those crazy creative comment threads. You all are so funny.
MWT, you host a great party. ;)

That is most excellent.

I grilled some shrimp, scallops and squid for tonight's salad. None of its poofy (or Poofy), and I bought the seafood on 42nd St.

Oh, man, I've been busy for the last couple of days and didn't come by here and look what happens, funny stuff damnit.
