I Believe
FOUND by Kathleen in Keene, New Hampshire
Left on the back of a comment card at a restaurant I used to work at. I do not know the Icky Guy, but I believe.

Icky Guy steals food from office refrigerators, takes a big bite from various lunches, puts the lunches back, and pretends like nothing happened. I mean, look at those teeth ... I not "aggerating" here, this is the guy!

Finally, I'm receiving the recognition I deserve.

It is also a very good likeness.

Farmer in the Dell, you kill me! I can't decide if I come to this website everyday for the finds or for your comments. Oh, and alan goes "pting" you make it all worth it too.

I definately visit for the comments. The "Finds" just get them going.

Thank you Feminista.

Some days the comments weave in and out like a poem - other days it's like a squabbling family - but it's always fun.

I just try to come up with something stupid to add to the mix.

Everybody knows at least one icky guy. They breed.

An icky guy is the kind that unbuckles his belt and slightly loosens his fly zipper when he sits down...to a meal. With other people who are not family.

The title and the intro have me stumped.

You believe what? In little green men (Fox Mulder)? That love is the answer (Blessed Union of Souls)? That there is life after lover (Cher)? In the music (Mac Davis)? In spooks (Cowardly Lion)? In yourself and have faith in your abilities (Norman Vincent Peale)?

Everyone should believe in something. And I believe I'll have another drink! - W.C. Fields

*GASP* Dan?!?!? I've been wondering where you've been all this time!

Nice! He just needs some ear wax like dripping from his ear and then it would be exquisite!

@Freonz ... could be the title and intro are the finder's riff on the Easter message "Jesus Lives!" (to which the cogent response is "I believe!!"). Having now personally received the mysterious revelation that "The Icky Guy Lives" her response was "I believe."

Or it could be something else.

Spot on Librarian!

However, I doubt that Icky Guy's impact on humanity will rival that of Jesus'.

That guy looks just like my brother. Although my brother isn't icky.

Goddamitall, I know I've seen this drawing at www.ickyguy.com. Another recycled find. I can't handle the mendacity any more.

The Icky guy lives within us all!

Now we just need to figure out how to get him out!?

Icky guys are only icky in public. In private they are dreeeeamy....

Maybe I should put on my "icky guy" persona if I want to land a girl bear. Is that what you're saying Night in gale?

@Night In Gale: Your post made me snort out my nose! Do you mean that women have secret crushes on icky guys, because they know deep down they can be really sexy? (Like in Juno, "The funny thing is that Steve Rendazo secretly wants me. Jocks like him always want freaky girls.")

If you don't know who the "icky guy" is; it's you.

Well Cubby, not all she-bears know what I know about icky guys, so that tactic may backfire on you. And Fooch, I haven't seen that movie, and I have no idea about other women's secret crushes, but maybe the smart ones do?

Anyway, I like this drawing. Thanks for sending it in, Kathleen. And to continue the thread from earlier:

um night, I think some of the ickies stay icky all the time, private time notwithstanding:-))

@Squinting- I think it's been drawn with both, maybe just the blue and when the artist used the whole tip of the pen, it comes out darker. When used on the sides of the tip, comes out lighter??

Neat.

...i think the icky guy is kind of cute, in that awkward way. hee hee. but i also think the guy (that IS a guy, i clicked on the ad, it said MEN'S tank tops) on the american apparel ad is cute. i am a HUGE sucker for long hair.

I know I've seen this style of animation somewhere before! He looks like a character in a cartoon, or maybe a comic strip...? Either way, it's a very good drawing!
