Butcher Billy of Curitiba, Brazil posted these "Clockwork Orange Babies" concept illustrations to Behance. It's wildly implausible that such a thing would ever exist, but I'd like to vacation in the parallel universe where they do.

A Clockwork Orange Babies Design Concept (Thanks, Fipi Lele!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    A “Baby Ludwig Van” project would be a home run!

    It’s only implausible because Disney hasn’t worked their way that far down the list of cultural icons yet.  They’ll get there, it might take a few decades yet.  I hear they’re still working over Star Wars.

    Vaguely OT, but the violence of toddlers has always sort of fascinated me, because of the odd and not immediately obvious limits that they impose on themselves in order to avoid causing actual injury. There is no special reason that fighting children *couldn’t* do each other serious injury – crippling wounds are just an eye gouge away! – but they don’t. My three kids fight a fair amount (I try to let them sort things out among themselves, when practical) and I have yet to see any injury beyond a tiny red mark or scratch. Millions of years of evolution at work, I guess.

      Kind of like the way cats will scream bloody murder but rarely actually touch each other.

  • Wreckrob8

    It’s all the moloko vellocet that makes them violent.

  • sockdoll

    Horrorshow indeed.

  • pjcamp

    Now that’s just bolnoy chepooka.

    Now things are just one step away from co-opting my masterplan to become a millionaire overnight:  Baby Batman, Baby Joker, etc.

    Well, at least this makes the concept of a “milk bar” more realistic.
