So, here's what happened with this one: I decided to draw some sort of "Action Pose." I drew the pointing guy so low on the page that his feet wouldn't fit. I do this a lot- it's not because drawing decent looking feet is difficult (even though that's also true- look at the potatoes at the end of the kid's legs), but because I suck at figuring out proportions, and I end up making the body the wrong size. I should draw tiny pictures on huge paper.
Then I decided I wanted Pointing Guy to be pointing at a kid. Well, he's not pointing low enough, so I had to move the kid higher, which is why he gets a "Charlie Brown pitcher's mound" thing to stand on.
Also: The "deformity" Pointing refers to is just the horrible proportions of his body, not some hidden, secret freakishness.
Also also: I believe this is the longest thing I've written here since I started drawing these things.
