Parenting Skillz

My friend and colleague in the spy game, Agent Archi, sends me a powerpoint fwd that you might have seen. It's titled "What happens when your father is a graphic designer" and begins with this image:

Already pretty funny, but then Dad proceeds to graphically rework the picture of his own baby into other characters including Hulk Hogan, a member of Kiss, Shrek and Pei Mei here from Kill Bill:



This is all well and good. But there's also these ones, which frankly gave me a bit of the willies. It's one thing to have a 'mad Marine' baby...


... but when you turn your own child into Hitler...

...surely you've crossed some sort of line. Excellent work, sicko-graphic-designer-Dad! Any current and would-be fathers reading this take note: the bar is set - can you rise to the challenge?




Mission File Addendum: Turns out a little browsing reveals an entire "Crazy Mean Baby" subculture out there (link has sound). There's a good Malcolm from Clockwork Orange, the inevitable B*sh one, and many more besides. So maybe the original Dad didn't make his own kid into Hitler. But he is responsible for turning his own kid into a blossoming sicko Internet meme, so top work anyway!
