Hey Anthony,
What's small, stripey and loves Jell-O pudding?

I am also amazed at how many Cosbys were depicted:

1) Wearing the cabby/golfer hat
2) Eating an ice cream cone (is this from a Google Image Search result, too?)
3) With and/or referencing Pokémon (which I didn't understand until I did a little searching around and found that it is apparently a reference to a parody of Cosby on an episode of The Simpsons where he goes on a tirade about what Pokémon is)

Ah, that's something I forgot to mention. I assumed that the hat and ice cream were just from popular reference pics, but I had no idea about the Pokemon. Thank you for informing me!

I kind of wish I finished my idea of a fallout perk that gave +20 to cosby.

I wonder if your results were skewed away from Jello and crazy sweaters because you said specifically "You can use a reference". Did you and/or Emmy use a reference? When not drawing from a reference, I would imagine people are more inclined to add things to make their drawing target more obvious.

I used a reference. In fact I used the same facing-left-hands-clasped reference that many other people did, but I only used it for the face and then added the sweater and pudding myself.

Well this makes me feel kinda bad for using that hands clasped photo for a reference ;;

I didn't even know about the Jello thing, lol. Or the gibberish. Shows you how much TV I watch :|

Amazing. Wish I'd had time to participate!

I like how many of the drawings focused on his cheeks :)

Repeating this here because there's no way you'll ever see it on the other one; I drew mine as a pudding pop, does that count as with a Jell-O product?

Because as you can tell, he most certainly is not WITH a pudding pop but IS a pudding pop.

Well, that was on a page that Emmy tabulated so I can't be certain, but I would have counted it under the Jell-o category. For only Cosby's body has changed; his beautiful soul is still Cosby.

Was mine a Cosby that confused?

It wasn't meant to be. I was just trying to tell the truth how I saw it and I guess it came out all broken.


This is the saddest day since yesterday.

Number of Cosbies wearing sweaters and plugging New Coke: Just one, friends.

Just one.

What have we learnt from this? What are you able to conclude from your Cosby experiment? Invest in Gibberish and Sweaters?

What I learned:

Some people think Cosby is white wearing a mask. Some people think Cosby is a non-humanoid monster. Some people are racist. Some people think Cosby is some sort of cyborg.

Living here in the UK I was unaware of the Jello advert. I miss out on so many pop culture references.

I took my reference from page 20 of google images, a tip I picked up from the old skool. They've been doing that for nigh on thirty years.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad that my cosbo didn't fit any of those criteria you listed. AM I UNIQUE OR AM I BORING OHGOD. Although I ALMOST submitted one with pudding that i drew a long time ago....

This was a gr8 experiment, you should do more with other celebs.

I am the only one to depict a cartoon Cosby. I was probably in the confused category. :(

I was just trying to be different, I figured everyone would have him in sweaters with jello. Plus I'm old enough to remember having a Cosby audio tape of one of his routines when he was way young so that's why I went with the much younger Cosby.
Do you think the Cos would appreciate it if someone printed all of these out and mailed them to him?

Oh it'll be confusing and weird all right when the Cosby sweater powered cyborgs take over.

BUTBUTBUT...

"Cosbies with sweaters and Jell-o and gibberish: 0, can you believe it?"

Mine had a garish sweater, and he SAID jello in his gibberish! D:
*Sobs hysterically*
AND HE HAD A FLAPPING HEAD!

Hm. Well I don't know if merely saying "Jell-o" counted as far as including jell-o. I guess the only solutio--LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!!

Today I was looking at a local newspaper and the front page story was about a Bill Crosby mural. I thought this might have something to do with that, but I was wrong! It was just an extremely strange coincidence it seems.
