Freaky figurine

I’m guessing that the opticians displaying the bizarre looking character below was aiming for the cute look. But as you can see, things didn’t quite work out that way.

    Haven’t I seen this gal (I think it’s a woman) in a cartoon before? Freaky, though, you’re right…

    Just wanted to stop and say hi, and let you know I enjoy your site. Nice design too. I spent a year in Japan, too, and love it.

    Ah, so that’s the famous peach boy. Thanks for that Roy.

    He can’t be happy about those glasses though!

    You mean to tell me that the “Me-me-megane…me-me-me-me-ME-gane” boy is Momotaro? I never woulda figured that out.
