Creepy New York? 

At Eli's Multi Medium you'll find a remarkable photograph of a window display of Betty Boop collectabilia in some shop in New York. The lighting on the big Betty's face is extraordinary. I don't find the picture creepy, though, more intense and introspective. The stance of the big Betty is dramatic: she is almost, but not quite, attending to the bizarre moustached dog on a serving dish, her back resolutely turned on her lesser incarnations. A look of guilt and incipient defiance is glimpsed in the shadows on her face—if that is indeed her face. De profundis clamavi ad te, she might be saying.

Watching TV is a good way to tear yourself away from the computer.
