TSG is always on the lookout for photo stand-ins* when we're out on the road. Here's a collection of recent sightings we've put together for your consideration
*Bonus trivia tidbit: the artist who came up with the original concept of "comic foregrounds" was Cassius Marcellus Coolidge (aka Kash Koolidge). He also happens to be the father of the "Dogs Playing Poker" school of art. His painted his first mongrel masterpiece, Poker Game in 1894. And the rest, as they say, is history.

The one where the subject's face appears as a lure/food in the mouth of the fish is quite worthy - a good step beyond the usual. Kudo's to that artist.
I have an uncle who had a dogs-playing-poker picture hanging in his house back in the 60's. Even at my young age I understood two things simultaneously - this was not great art, and, this WAS great art. That business of seeing something from both sides of the coin might be what led me to a professional life as a lawyer.
