I find this lemur pop-art to be both hauntingly grotesque and hauntingly appealing. Miss Lemur is wearing a thong and is the proud owner of a very bodacious booty which is clearly inappropriate for a lemur but instills a level of mortifying jealousy within me. I get so uncomfortable when I find myself envious of penned anthropomorphic characters. And she's so skinny!!!!!
As for Mr. Lemur, (who was created from a picture of Richard Lewis) he is CREEPY. Miss Lemur's troubled expression and physical retraction are warranted.
While I respect the artist's attempt at off-beat eroticism, I feel they may have fallen short.....Unless, of course,
there is a cult of overweight, lemur-chat-room and lemur-porn addicted adolescents on the loose that I am, thankfully, unaware of.
To summarize: I think lemurs are actually too attractive and too jungle-jaded to be turned into fictional sex symbols. There I said it : Lemurs are sexy. Just the way they are.
