The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 24, 2020

When you wish upon a SPLAT!

Does this mean that Pinocchio is ambivalent about his sexuality?

Hmmm. . .

“Look, YOU’RE the guy with all the dirty pictures!” -Punchline to an ancient psychiatric joke

By Jiminy you’re right.

If his nose grows you know he’s withholding!!!

In the original 1883 story, Pinocchio immediately squashes Cricket with a hammer, in an effort to prevent future animators from adding a sidekick.

He would like to blot it all out!

Now it’s a stain on his brain!

Just so you know, the correct answer to the inkblots is that each in every way is a blood splatter. You saw these patterns after the decapitation. Some on the floor, some on the wall. Make sure one of them was on your shirt. The more complex color ones are to make you want to kill at random. Your release will be imminent.

Unconscionable.

I remember Jiminy Cricket singing he was playing it safe and was going to live to be 103.

by jiminy I think he’s right

Great, now these tests have right and wrong answers.

Pinocchio + Rorschach = Pistachio, a particular shade of green.

He wood have said cricket eventually.

If it WAS a cricket Pinocchio’s nose would have grown…

Pinocchio has his hand on his woodpecker. Better not tell too many lies.

By Jiminey!

Well! Jumpin Jiminy!!

Listen up my dear chap. It’s just not cricket.

Finally, a little appreciation.

So this is the version of Pinocchio from the original book, obviously

It is a butterfly that just got ran over by a truck.

The Rorschach test uses a single set of unique images. They provide a common set of templates for clients to project their feelings via identification. Not something you throw together in a garage; not something you can learn to interpret online. Just saying…

Reminds me of the time Barney Fife tried to psychoanalyze Otis. “It’s a bat.” “Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! Any normal person can see it’s a butterfly!” “If it’s a butterfly, it’s a mean one!”
