This is my friend, in his naked and chubby prime, Dan. (Some call him the Stay-Puft Marshmallow, or the Michelin Man, or a plethora of other things).

I decided to use this picture for this assignment because I am sitting right next to him, and he inspired me. To achieve this look, I uploaded a picture of him to Picasa and added the “comic book” effect, and the “poster” effect, and played around with the settings until it came out looking like this. Then, I emailed it to myself and uploaded it to flickr.

The origins of Danbob Chalpants:

He was hatched from an egg–albeit a rather large egg. His superpowers are being able to stomach any and everything in sight. On a normal day he eats upwards of 10,000 calories.
