Popeye can fit in there.

He looks like he needs a stool softener!!

Olive Oyl as a broken heart? We need some backstory on this!

Hah! This reminds me of the mail you get from PCH, with a page that has that message on the back side.

Probably the inspiration to this.

I would have expected that tattoo to be on his head.

That’s a wonderful rendering, Mr.Bliss.

If it’s supposed to be blank, why is there writing on it?

That’s reserved for MOM.

This page intentionally left blank. Well, maybe not exactly intentionally, but not by accident either. See, it’s often a good idea to have a section or chapter start on an odd numbered page. And this last section had an odd number of pages. So, to get the next section to start on the usual odd numbered page, it’s common practice to insert a blank page, so that the previous section, which started on an odd numbered page, has an even number of pages. Oddly enough, some people think that it’s necessary to put something on the page, like, “This page intentionally left blank.” That idea probably began with the military industrial complex and their specifications and instructions. For our military folk it’s really important that nothing ever be blank, unused, pristine. Something found blank might mean that something important was left out, and they never, ever leave anything out. And they would never want you to think that something had been left out. Anyway, back to this epic document. The problem now is that even though this page was supposed to be intentionally left blank, it is now unintentionally left messy. But it truly did not contain anything useful, interesting or instructional. So at least part of the original intent was accomplished. And now, intentional or unintentional, blank or messy, it’s time to get back to the Book.

But that space isn’t blank. Because you tattooed “This space intentionally left blank” in it. I never understood why companies put that on pages in statements. Once you put that on it, it’s not blank anymore.

Our monthly bill from the internet provider always consists of two pieces of paper; one side of one piece says “This page left intentionally blank.” But if there’s something written on it, it’s not blank ….

There used to be an official sign at the corner of US route 1 and, I believe, state route 27 in Wiscasset, Maine that said “No signs allowed at this intersection.” Huh? Isn’t that a sign at the intersection?

If he had any sense, the space would have an ad for Spinach™.

That’s a lotta face lift.

nah…he’s not that buff

I is what I is.

LOL

Brutus Buckeye is more attractive than this attempt to mix Brent Burns’s DNA with Tyler Bertuzzi’s wing dingers.
