Behold:
A brand new set of AWKWARD AUTHOR PHOTOS to gaze upon.
Folks entered. A whopping 73 of you, actually.
And holy shit, am I ever laughing.
Anyway — here’s how this works:
You click that link.
You look at the glorious buffet of authorial silliness.
You choose the one photo you believe should win the title of MOST AWKWARD AUTHOR PHOTO.
You take the number of that photo and you pop it into the comments below.
Please make the number of your choice clear. Begin with the number. If you have comments to add, add them after the number, and don’t use any other numbers (“Well, I like 16 but 42 is funny and 37 is awkward but maybe I’ll choose 71”) because I won’t know which one you’re voting for.
Translation: make this easy on me.
You get one vote.
I’ll tally the votes in one week (Wed, July 1st!) and we will have our winners.
DO YOUR CIVIC TERRIBLEMINDS DUTY. (Doody?)
And vote.

There’s just something about the extra arms. Lots of really good awkward photos, though. Congrats to all of them.

72 is the first one that caught my eye and still my favorite. Not only does it raise lots of awkward isues, it’s positively surreal.

19. So much awkward, it was hard to choose just one, but I love kilroy-esque version of awkward.

* 11 Bowtie + bare nipples + funny hat + cute dog = the elements of style! This one embraces the ridiculous aided by a goofy garnishing of insurgent irony. Nailed it!

73 – I feel like he can actually see me, and it’s super uncomfortable
