At least Wilkins looks exactly as he does in real life.

On your shoulder, Chuck has a bit more hair, so perhaps he shaved the beard to make a toupee?
That can’t be you: where are your tentacles?
And suckers?
And your vast hordes of nightmarish thralls?
I had trouble working out which one was meant to be you, PZ. Wilkins was easy, without even needing to double-check his blog. After going over all the faces in the picture several times and coming back here, I see my best guess matches someone else’s comment – about having a Charles Darwin (probably!) on your shoulder. I have no idea what the figure on the other shoulder was meant to be though. A red devil?
The other thing is a cephalopod, or possibly a miniature version of one of the Great Old Ones.
The mac should have been a tipoff.
I was wondering if the debut of the Pharyngula column in this month’s issue explained all the 2-page spreads of jellyfish photos…
But where was Orac?
Orac’s right up front, on the right.
Orac is the glass box at the bottom right-hand corner (and GrrlScientist is the owl on Shelley’s shoulder).
I swear, I am not a Seed plant. But this whole issue was really well-done. I enjoyed the cavefish column as well.
And the squid/Darwin dichotomy was pretty much how I always figured your angel/devil dichotomy worked…
Now I know why Wilkins always seems like that 1000lb Gorilla in the room.
As someone who sees you on a regular basis, I had a devil (hoo-dee-hoo-dee-hoo) of a time finding you even though you were front and center. The change in facial hair completely threw me. Love the shoulder companions, though!
