Static non-powered objects with FACES #43: A DuoTang portfolio
Here’s a picture of a sad face, accompanied by worrying news that one of our readers is allowed to be responsible for a child.
At what point do you have to mount an internet clear-up operation, when your child becomes “self-aware” and starts using Google to see if its dad is mentioned on the internet?
“My daughter’s school work is collected in this blue DuoTang portfolio. Inside front cover (upside down) it shows how sad it is to be the bearer of bad news like homework assignments or notes from the teacher. I was going to slip in the letter I got when I was fired by my last employer just for an added touch of pathos, but that would be manipulative” – Rob.

I’m going to take pity here and add a comment, not a very interesting one, but a comment none the less.
It’s quite a good face, and the blue adds to the sense of sadness.
Unfortunate lack of rudeness/obscenity/drug paraphenalia in the rest of the picture though.

After enduring all day the repeated, erratic and rather violent escape-efforts of whatever I had for dinner last night, I find the blue soothing and the expression rather fitting.
I think this is, by far, the best post ever.

I agree with Andy. A fine example of a face; good expression, moody tones, stylistic without being confusing. The bar has been well and truly raised.
