Alike
FOUND by Camille
in Gainesville, FL
I found this outside a 4th grade classroom. I dig the front and end exclamation points.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I guess they don't teach the birds and the bees until 5th grade in Gainesville....
the 'dude' looks a bit slingblade.
I can't decide if I love the handwriting, or if I hate it... It's sort of cool, but in a way that really frustrates me for some reason.
ever noticed the more you write a word, the more it looks mispelled? like frog - or alike...anyway no *mater* what, this is a cool find...equality for all!
I always loved Hermaphrodite Day back in grade school.
this is actually a protest poster(a rough draft for one anyway) about the schools new mandatory uniform.
simply making the students all wear uniforms wasn't enough for this school board, they decided it was sexist to even have slightly different uniforms for the boys and girls. so they're making even the boys and girls all dress "alike"(hopefully it will mean the girls in pants, not the boys in skirts).
this grass roots student movement they call "alike", is an outcry against the lack of individuality in the school.
(...or not...)
A LIKE big Butts and I cannot lie.
you otha brothas can't deny...
aaanyway.. these people certainly are NOT all alike. Their ears are all different.

Love the hair on the 'dudes.'
Can't figure the reason for a 4th grader to do this, though...
"One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song? "
No matter who your "mater" is, we are all !alike!
And I thought the hair was a good likeness of the "Blagojevich Style" that's sweeping the nation these days.
They seem to care about equality, but it is all a facade. See how there's only one girl and two boys?
Sexist!
Unless that top right one is supposed to be a girl too? Poor thing.
And so the path to universal androgyny begins..the next generation will all be homosexual and communists. With pussies running the country nobody will have any backbone to fight for freedom and terrorists will destroy the nation.
this drawing is kind of Picasso like...Even if the kid is mixed up.
Drawings are vaguely reminiscent of the "test your talent" ads for drawing lessons advertised in cheap magazines and on matchbook covers.
The artist has one of those cool rulers with shapes cut in them: letters, numbers, dividers...and used the divider shape to draw around "alike."
I think what they mean is they can only do one sort of face, male or female, they end up looking all alike. No matter what, their drawings all look the same because they are.
Kinda Simpson-esque, wouldn't you say?
I've often thought English ought to borrow the front exclamation points & stuff from Spanish.
Mountain Girl--If I may ask, in which cornfield are you stuck? I'm in a soybean field down in Wayne County.
Curly Moe
Larry Shemp
Mountain Girl, good one..I was thinking the same, "Blagojevich Style."
@ Sweetie Pea: I'm hunkered down in tornado alley, about 40 miles from Springfield.
Because we're all sad and slightly robotic?
This is why all the boys in gainsville are gay.
I get it now.
Why are some people like hating on this?
It's true.
If a kid in forth grade could realize this people your age should realize not to critize a drawing.
Even us bald people?
D: For some reason, this reminds me of the manga Monster. In it, this boy tells his twin sister that they're the same. *shiver* Why I'm freaked out, however, is a spoiler. =/
Oh Dear Organgrinder. It's the only reason we're HERE.
I just wonder why the K in the fourth "alike" is unlike any of the others.
No mother? What? They are all alike because they are test tube baby clones. I don't think this picture was intended to escape the Institute.
They sort of remind me of pinheads or cavepeople.
I'm loving the eyes and ears.
Beldar,
Maybe you should look at the bigger picture here.
Test tube babies? What the fuck are you talking about?
I think what the drawer is talking about is saying humans are alike no matter what they look like.
It's not wether they are a boy or a girl.
my Dear, sweet organgrinder,
I think you have allowed the fun and pageantry that is the found comments to completely elude you. breathe. unclench. gain a sense of whimsy and maybe humor. It's okay.
(by the way, I'm from Remulak- it's in France- so it's only natural that my thoughts would turn to test tube babies and the like, upon reading "no mater", which can be translated to mean "no mother." Geddit?)
