I should make a pilgrimage.

A stylized drawing of Lon Chaney Jr. as "Kharis" from the Universal Pictures Mummy movies.

I just saw a Temu ad featuring the fairly graphic preparation of a fish: yanking out the gills, scaling, and gutting.

Apparently, the item was free?

The Creature from the Black Lagoon, staring at the viewer, arms reaching forward. It's a green fish man with very red mouth and tongue. The head has fins all over it; the body has scaled plates. The hands have long, pointy claws.

279/365.

A stylized drawing of Lon Chaney as Erik from the 1925 Universal Pictures adaptation of "The Phantom of the Opera." He is standing with arms crossed up high and is looking off to his left.

278/365.

My go-to catch-all scapegoat has changed from "the rain" to "the nights on Broadway."

An interpretation of Universal Pictures's "The Wolf Man". He is hunched over, arms in the sort of "ready" position that Secret Service agents have. His bottom teeth are showing.

277/365.

The head and upper torso of Universal Picture's "The Invisible Man." His head is wrapped in gauze and he's wearing those dark goggles/safety glasses. He is dressed in a robe with checkered lapels, cuffs, and pocket. He also has gloves on and has an ascot or big neckerchief and pocket square.

276/365.

Count Dracula. He looking slightly downward while holding his arms slightly up and forward; the wrists are bent, and the fingers extended.

275/365.

Frankenstein (or "Dr. Frankenstein's Monster" if you're an insufferable pedant) lurching toward the viewer.

274/365.

This isn't innuendo, is it?

From a 2024 Facebook post: "Happy 70th Birthday to the Hegseth patriarch"

A Mesa Prieta petroglyph.

Source:

A figure that looks a bit like a ball sack with two bowed noodle legs. It has an open smiling mouth in the abdomen area. From the top of that mass is a large set of nostrils, two arms raised upward and two eyes. It is wearing a pair of pants with a belt on its head. The configuration is confounding. An eruption of some kind issues from the bottom center of the abdominal mass.

273/365. Another weird Mesa Prieta petroglyph guy. Probably the last drink from this well for awhile.

A petroglyph from Mesa Prieta.

Source:

A sort of chicken monster with frog-like arms. The arms are held out and bent upward at the elbow, palms more-or-less flat with fingers bent up. The head has a lip curl like Stallone. The top of the head is a giant eyeball surrounded by bulbus cilia. The feet have two toes. Under the creature is an egg that is cracked.

272/365. Today's weird petroglyph guy is from Mesa Prieta.

Do you say, "hey, Fezzik. Why the long face? Haha. I'm just joshin'?" I would.

A petroglyph from Snow Canyon State Park, Utah.

Source:

A figure with very thin limbs, all four ending in three digits. The arms are held out in a "scarecrow", with the forearms hanging downward. It has a long neck that bends down in front of the torso. It has only a mouth. It is wearing briefs and one of the lower limbs has a sock on each digit.

271/365. Another weird petroglyph guy; this one is from Snow Canyon, Utah.

A detail of a petroglyph found in Siberia. It is some kind of horned four-legged mammal, but it has heads at both ends.

Source:

Some sort of horned animal, possibly an ungulate. It has four legs, each terminating in a single toenail. It has a head at both ends; they both have one sleepy eye visible and their mouths are open.

270/365. Another weird Siberian petroglyph guy.

A close-up of an odd figure from a petroglyph located in Siberia.

The source image:

A three legged guy wearing brown slip-on boots. It is wearing brown gloves and is doing the "circle game" gesture. It has two eyes with swirly pupils on stalks to each side of an open-mouthed smile. Atop the head appears to be six horns or antler prongs.

269/365. A guy from a Siberian petroglyph.

A large, dimwitted goldfish in an inadequately sized fishbowl.

268/365. Wrong size.

I reflexively frowned reading that. I don't know why.

267/365. "I SEE YOUR CARD."

A monster shaped like the spade playing card suit. He is grey and has a single, yellow eye with a slit pupil. It is perched at the opening of a rectangular hole; the viewer is inside the hole looking up. The spade monster is extending a shovel into the hole; on the shovel is the Ace of Spades.

266/365. "I believe this IS your card."

Side by side, over and under, or one growing out of the other one, like a saguaro?

A light-skin colored heart monster punching through an Ace of Hearts playing card. In its fist is a human heart.

265/365. "Is THIS your card?"
