    If I had these things out on the aforementioned rug, I think I would leave a lot of fruit out on the ground… And a pie with one slice removed.

  • Halloween Jack

    Horta?

  • Cpt. Tim

    i just want the mat that these are on.

    Really? You’re going to make me ask why there’s a yellow one. No one else is going to say anything?

  • Phikus

    Cute! But lets see how many people believe these are lame because:

    a) They are a rip-off of the video game. The person who designed them must be a hack.

    b) Someone probably used Photoshop or Illustrator in designing this, so they surely can’t be taken seriously.

    c) The person who designed them didn’t expressly show that they can draw.

    None? Ok, then let Shepard Fairey off the hook fer crissakes.

    If you have no idea what I am referencing, please read the comments here.

    I’m just waiting for the new Horta lamps from designer Anderson Pacman.

    Wocka Wocka Wocka!

  • Timothy Hutton

    My immediate reaction to the photo was that these need to be mounted atop roombas and set loose with wocka-wocka-wocka playing on the stereo…

    I can just imagine a maze constructed out of 2x4s (painted blacklight blue, of course), and small yellow tissue circles evenly spaced throughout the maze… I could watch it for hours…

    I don’t mind bringing in these yet-to-be-named white and yellow ghosts, but no Pinky is a problem, and no Clyde or Sue is a dealbreaker.

    FAIL.
