Fiendish Fishsticks.
A long explanation for this very strange image.
In Phoenix Arizona U.S.A. (Where I live) There is a huge campaign warning of the addictive and destructive nature of crystal meth. The campaign involves huge billboards of very sickly looking teenagers passed out in public restrooms, covered in sores, and with black rotting teeth. Also accompanied by some rather graphic t.v. ads. As a school teacher, I see the effects of drug addiction all the time, and fully support anything that can help put an end to it.
I also have 2 young girls, 8 and 4 who see these disturbing images and start asking questions but don't understand the answers.
I decided to create a G rated image, to show my girls the power of addiction in a fun way.
This is that image.
Imagined conversation with my girls.
"See girls, the 2 kitties just love fish so much that they will do anything and risk everything for more."
"But daddy, their going to pop their bubble tires on those spikes and die! Why don't they stop?"
"Because they can't stop, their addicted to fish."
Actual conversation.
"Daddy, your pictures weird, why don't you make a mermaid instead?"
