the quaker oats guy

he used to creep the hell out of me when i was a kid. he was right up there with this picture of moses on the back of a children's bible my brother had in which moses had these heavy shadows over his eyes, and i feared that he might come alive and consume me with them. but yeah, the quaker oats guy creeped me out then and still does to an extent to this day. part of the original discomfort came from the fact that i couldn't tell if it was a man or woman. even when i got a little older and realized that his dress makes him a proud quaker man, i was still bothered by what were, to me at least, ambiguous features. for argument's sake, just imagine the quaker oats guy in a nun's habit. what do you get? sister mary terror, that's what.
