How Celery Affects Gravity






This is actually quite funny once you understand that whoever is responsible for it had a healthy sense of humor. I don’t know who the girl is, or the photographer, or the circumstances of how, exactly, it came into existence. I really don’t even understand the Supergirl outfit here, maybe someone can explain that to me. But I know why it was done. And if you’ve ever been exposed some of the artwork of one Art Frahm, you would already be laughing and need no explanation. But even if you’re familiar with Art Frahm’s failure to grasp the relationship of what is normally the inability of the force of gravity to make underwear fall - all by itself - to the ankles of young ladies, the celery might have thrown you. It needs to be there, trust me. Or better yet, trust the wonderful James Lileks, his observations are much more clever and amusing concerning Frahm’s work than mine could ever be.

Read through this Lileks piece, written many several years ago, and it will all become apparent. Click through the images and enjoy yourselves.
