Misdrawn.

I love misdrawn, misplaced iconic characters, like this one, found on the side of a Madison food cart:

Misdrawn

I'm not saying I love every picture that is not drawn right or that every cartoon character who pops up in the wrong place amuses me, but I do like this one. Why is Spiderman so cute? Why is hanging around fruit? To catch flies? Why does the food cart want to remind us that it might attract flies? Or am I supposed to know that Spiderman is not really like a spider when it comes to having an interest in catching insects? Sorry, I really have no idea what Spiderman's agenda is.

Makes me think of halloween: That looks like a cartoon character (sorry, can't think of the name) that my son watches dressed up as Spiderman.

Weird and wonderful picture.

I've never before noticed the weird similarity between pineapples and strawberries until seeing this image where they are shown as roughly the same size.

Maybe Spiderman just noticed the same thing.

He does whatever a spider can!

That's so cold. You'd care if you were the Human Fly.

Spidey (isn't that his nickname?) is on the outside looking in at the array of fruit and carrots(?)* needing, apparently, a smoothie boost .

*Carrots are considered by some to be fruit.
