Welcome to another edition of the Misadventures in Stock Photography! A few of you may remember all the way back to Part the Ninth, when we met Crouching Guy. I’ll wait here whilst you go take a peek and refresh your memories. Back? All comfy? Ok then. I think that today’s cover model is actually Crouching Guy, now standing (more or less) erect. Thoughts?

And now, on with our story…

It all started with

“Surely you have found all the naughty boys there are to find by now, Mom?!” -Mayhem

I’d already been collecting covers of Crouching Guy when Janna sent me a few more covers and asked if I was going to do a Misadventures on him sometime. Great minds and all that. 😉

While it’s nothing new for our stock photo guys to be a bit confused and indecisive, Crouching Guy’s confusion is a bit different. Should he follow his lupine nature?

Or his less noble canine nature, embracing his role as

and do it

? *ahem*

Or should he just keep

? After all, there’s his piscine nature to consider…

…at least as long as he’s careful and doesn’t take the

. (Fortunately, there’s always that old fallback, time travel, if he messes things up.)

But personally, I think he should embrace his feline nature…

and let his inner black kitty shine through!
