All I know is that Crotch Lobster is the logical outcome of doing the Rock Lobster.

Then is the next logical extension... Crotch Rock or Rock Crotch?

Sebastian Bach or Ben Grimm?

sub_topical/ash, that avatar really creeps me out.

The "Why Paint Cats" book was pretty funny, though. I wish I was that good at Photoshop.

I woke up this morning and my ear hurt.  Could cochlear cataclysm be imminent?

Is it photoshopped?  I read that book front to back looking for mention of the photos being altered (I figured they were), but there was nothing, but there's the list of dyes used, so I got confused.

I believe so.  I think its the artist's concept that the entire book is part of the artwork.  On the other hand, if you read between the lines, it's too pretentious to be real:
"...inspired by Galileo's love of cats, she traced fine white lines from the tips of a black cat's ears down its back and around the base of its tail.  By orienting the cat's annular ring accurately on a  moonless night, and slowly rotating its whole body in a counterclockwise direction, it was possible to sight along the lines and correctly measure the azimuth of Venus and the moon at setting time."

Right.

All the books in the series (Why Cats Paint, Why Paint Cats, and Dancing With Cats) are all fictional. The cats didn't really paint those pictures, and the cats were not physically painted -- the whole thing is Photoshopped. Each book is humorous fiction.

Yeah, a little wandering around on the internet confirmed it's all a hoax.  Doing parody while working hard to conceal the fact your doing parody sort of misses the boat to me.  Apparently these people did that book of erotic origami that was proliferated around the internet a while back too.
