I Love It When a Face Comes Together

August 19, 2022August 4, 2022 / K. Callard / Leave a comment

I don’t go around looking for faces, I swear. But sometimes when I’m out, things line up just right, and next thing you know I’m snapping a pic of a house wearing a cool hat and sticking its tongue out at me. Because when I see a face, I just can’t let it slide.

Playground in front of a house, positioned so the windows look like eyes, the playground's telescope like a nose and its slide like a mouth with its tongue sticking out. Pupils have been doodled in. Speech bubble says, "Face it, your imagination is out of control!"

Bringing the Heat

Welcome to amateur comedy night, where we’ve invited our guests to bring their spiciest jokes. Put your hands together for our first comedian, Pete Zabox!

Open Pizza box that looks like a face. Eyebrows have been doodled over vent hole "eyes". Speech bubbles say, "Why did the cayenne put on a sweater?' and "Because it was a little chili."

Confused looking red pepper says, "I don't get it."

Pizza box again. Speech bubbles say, "Why couldn't the green pepper practice archery?" and "Because it didn't habanero."

Confused pepper again saying, "I don't get it."

Pizza box again. Speech bubbles say, "How do you figure out how heavy a red hot chili pepper is?" and "Give it a weigh, give it a weigh, give it a weigh, now."

Closed pizza box looks dejected. Speech bubble says, "I hate it when my jokes fall flat."

A Bald Move

Once, a bald man at a bash,

Bragged to all in a manner quite rash,

“No hair is as fine,

As can compete with mine!”

Referring, of course, to his glorious mustache.

Garden hose holder with screws that look like eyes and a nose, looped hose is a long mustache. Speech bubble says, "I comb, I saw, I conquered."

Store Stares

“Hey, so I know we promised to look at new kitchen fixtures today, but this place is weirding me out. I feel like I’m being watched.”

Wall of drawer pulls and handles with two round knob "eyes" over a handle "mouth." Text box at bottom reads, "You can handle this."

“Yeah. Okay. Seriously, though…do you think they have hidden cameras or something? Because It feels like somebody’s eyes are on me.”

Another wall of handles and pulls. This time with two faces: knob eyes and noses over handle mouths. Pupils have been doodled in for emphasis. Text box reads, "Get a grip. Nobody's watching you."

“You’re right. I must be imagining things. But I swear something here is creeping me out, big time.”

Yet another wall. This time three faces of varying creepiness are made out of pulls and handles. White pupils added for emphasis. Text box reads, "Pull yourself together and pick something!"

“Okay, fine, if only because it means I can leave. Those ones. For some reason, I have a good feeling about them.”

Happy face made of pulls and a handle. Text box reads, "Done."

Hitting Rock Bottom

There once was a girl from a place

Who climbed mountains at quite a quick pace

One time she fell down

By some stones with a frown:

She got stuck ‘tween a rock and hard face.

Rock wall with stones that look like two eyes, a nose and mouth. Eyeballs and angry eyebrows have been doodled in. Speech bubble says, "Looks like your hike is off to a rocky start."

Gearing Up

Okay folks, it’s time! We’re finally being called up and put into action. Are you ready for this?

Wooden sheet with cut-out gears for a model. Two empty oval spaces sit about a jagged empty trapezoid. Googly eyeballs have been doodled into the ovals, making it look like cookie monster. A speech bubble says, "Will there be cookies?"

What? No! There won’t be cookies. This isn’t the dark side, this is a model. Now, come on and get working.

More gear cut-outs. Two spiral gears sit over the empty space of toothed gear making a ZOMG face. Muppet-flail arms have been doodled in. Speech bubble says, "ZOMG! I've been waiting my whole life for this!"

Excellent. That’s the kind of enthusiasm I want to see.

Is there a problem, Geary?

Circle with an empty space that looks like a ship's steering wheel. Above it are two empty circles with doodled pupils. A circle within a circle sits beside the
mouth." Speech bubble says, "Why so I always get a pimple on the big day?"

It’s okay, I’m sure no one will notice.

All right, are we ready now?

Toothed gear with smaller circles inside that look like eyes. Eyebrows and stick arms have been doodled in. Speech bubble says, "I'm ready! Let's go!"

Okay.

Let’s go, Gear Force!

Assemble.

Wooden clock with visible gears, doodled to look like an owl. Speech bubble says, "Owl right! Now that's what I'm talking about!"

What a Crock!

Having to cook everyday creates a lot of pressure. Having to find meals that suit everyone leaves me steamed. It’s like a slow burn, simmering under the surface. Especially since it seems like everyone and everything has something to say about my cooking.

Pressure cooker whose steam valve looks like an eye and knob looks like a monocle. Fancy moustache has been doodled on top of handle. Speech bubble says, in fancy text, "Pardon me, Does this recipe have any Grey Poupon?"

Party Pooper

There once was a log who did try

To sneak into a party on the sly.

But people turned him away

Didn’t let him stay.

A real shame, ‘cause he’s such a fungi.

Log covered in shelf-like fungus. At the top it looks like a happy face. Speech bubble says, "Don't worry. People may not always like me at first, but eventually I grow on them."

When Life Gets Too In-Tents…

…And s’more and s’more problems seem to keep coming at you, when your brain feels like it’s on fire, camping is a great way to relieve the tent-sion. To be honest, I think I could do it forest of my life.
