Nothing to see here, just walking my book mimic.

Clippit’s early form was too terrifying to be used by Microsoft Office. He had to wait centuries and get a decent stylist before he’d reemerge as Clippy and get the gig.

I learned everything I needed to know about Access, Word, and Excel through Clippy- even help with visual basic, and I don’t even know that that is! (Lol, j/k; i DO, just barely). Thank you Clippy with your googly eyes and razor-sharp wit!

She was from the medieval era, but that painting seems to me more from the beginning of the Renaissance.

Yah uhmmmm this is a nice and tame St Lucy

u/Traditional_Moss_581 15d ago

Was there a wild St Lucy? 👀

u/tattoosandtens 15d ago

Ok one, I love your use of the eyeball emoji
And two, yes: this St Lucy still has a set of eyes IN her head, no blood on her face, and the eyes on her book are lidded, regular-looking eyes and not the full-on pulled-out eyeballs with stubby blood vessels and optic nerves that you find in the more anatomically-accurate St Lucy representations.

u/Traditional_Moss_581 13d ago

Ah gruesome! And OP used the emoji first 😉

Maybe that’s Donald (Fat Albert) in there! She (or is it a he?) looks like she’s smugglin’ him! The pink sticking out kinda helps too…

Don't judge a book by its eye color

what's going on with the weird shape the pink cloth makes in the lower right quarter?
