The icon says it all (with a smile)

Don't ask me why I was so dedicated to the task of making an icon with Ripp giving you all the finger, but once the idea popped into my head, it became a personal challenge (and you never know when something like that could come in handy, right?). Sim hands are ridiculously stumpy and lacking in detail, so it looks pretty goofy and a little like one of those foam sports hands that fans wave, but I think it came out looking okay, don't you?

The stupid grin keeps it playful, so even when used to tell someone to sit on it, it doesn't appear overly aggressive. I can easily imagine Johnny on the receiving end of this gesture, instead of, say, Tank. 

I have writer/simmer's block. Can you tell?

He didn't do it himself (though that would be REALLY funny). I had to edit out his other fingers in Photoshop. Here's the original screencap:



It was a frame from the hula dance. I was going to add a finger to a closed fist, but removing fingers ended up being easier. It still looks a little off, but I blame that (partly) on the hand. Sim hands are weird.

The only times I ever give anyone the finger is in a joking context. It makes a good response to a wisecrack.

Writer's block is no fun. I hope you work through it. I think I'm going to try to go in and do some of the images for the next update, since I do have some of the writing ready.
