I thought this was quite funny. I wouldn't have even known who the woman was a year +a few months ago (if you don't know who she is, don't waste your time finding out).
Some of them look familiar in the second row from the bottom.

I know that Tesla looks like this, so clearly I'm not what's wrong with the world.

― Οὖτις, Thursday, 17 July 2014 22:46 (eleven years ago)

They are all magazine illustrators. Sweater guy is Bob Peak. Dude with the pipe is Norman Rockwell. NC Wyeth is the guy with specs who looks like a depressed philosopher.

Eyebrows is Albert Dorne.

soref those are awesome
― balls, Thursday, 17 July 2014 23:10 (eleven years ago)
Not quite as lofty as I had imagined. I like Wyeth quite a bit and the others are impressive but I don't think they are gods or anything.
Probably part of a meme that started long before.

lol i would have spotted schrödinger and oppenheimer or maybe mahler instead of schrödinger, based on the butthurt giants-deserve-recognition attitude behind the post
but ok magazine illustrators
― j., Friday, 18 July 2014 01:18 (eleven years ago)
