From Raymond Nakamura:
Nice detail. Especially like the helpless editor in its hand.
From Leslie Muir:
Nice t-shirt. Like the crushed city behind.

Leslie, that is Barney...isn't it?
THIS one is the winner!
All those years on TV and he finally flipped.
Barney-esque, for sure.
I was shooting for needy, passive-aggressive, and psychotic.
Yes, of course. To me it is more like what would happen to Wednesday Addams were she left up in the woods, locked in that dollhouse forced to listen to those unrelenting tracks from 'Annie" and "The Sound of Music", and once she was sprung she became THIS camp counselor singing THIS song.
Wednesday Wars lost.
Here's my take on a revision for the logo...

Oh GOD, Barney flipped out?, haha. Good, after that purple thing drove me nuts for years, it's fair dues:)
Here's another from me too.
(not Barney though, I wish I had thought of that:)
