John O. emails: “Read your item on poor Sean. I’ve never seen him, but I attempted my best impression of what I think he’d look like. I think I got the head tilt just right.” You know, I believe he has:

Perfect.
Now, only the puddle of tears is missing, and the rubber wrist band*.
*which would probably look better around his neck.

That Thanksgiving picture is the Best Reader Submission EVER.
It still brings tears to my eyes everytime.

What no nose or ear rings? I am disappointed!

Good grief.

Got to be good for a grant from the Yarts Council (or whover hands out the taxpayer dollars these days).
If John O is an indigenous disabled lesbian, this work of art is a lay down misere for the National Gallery.

Hey, I LOVE women, but I’m not (physically) disabled. Does that count?

You must have used a protractor to nail that head tilt. Can we expect another amended drawing before christmas showing his whitened teeth, tanned orange skin and $2 charity wristband?

Sean feels there is nothing he can do. I think John O has the answer. A global head tilt day should do it. Just like the Global Orgasm Day which is coming up on the 22nd of Dec. The results of which will register on the worldwide monitor system of the Global Consciousness Project. We should measure these results against this. Science is great.

Nice one, JohnO. The very likeness of Sean, I’m sure.

I especially like the pencil neck. Somehow, that depecits Sean perfectly.

Great job! Only 1 suggestion – the essential emo haircut.

Hm. Needs something… something… Oh, I know! A duck!

This bold and challenging artwork captures the very essence of its subject. Indeed one can perceive as if he was actually present the self-indulgent despair and complacent woe that hangs around Sean and makes him so typical a member of a small but highly obnoxious element of modern society.

Hm. Needs something. Like Lucy holding a football for Sean to kick.

#2 I believe that he’s standing up to his knees in a hole filled with shit and Jell-O to receive an Arts Council grant.

Shouldn’t he be making a lame power fist?

He’s making two, he’s just too depressed to raise his arms.

I think the goiter is a nice touch.

It is pretty much how I imagine he is (although a nose ring wouldn’t be out of place). Great work!!
