I have this amazing clip art portfolio from the 90's. (Some of which I used for the
powerpoint video, see below.) There are like 500,000 clip arts in this thing and some
of them are completely ridiculous, inexplicable, and especially rockbottom. I can't
imagine what was going through the company's head when they were deciding
what the "ultimate" clip art collection would need. For example:

"Business Lamb & Ram"

These hoofers mean business! Whether you're a small business or just using clip art as a hobby, you can't go wrong with a Business Lamb & Ram to give your project that professional touch! It's a good thing they specified that this is a business lamb and ram because I didn't know (a) that that dude was a ram and (b) that he was also in business like his lady lamb friend.


YOUR BUSINESS WILL BOOM WITH OUR HANDY TITLES AND BANNERS!

The dog is howlin' - howlin' for DISCOUNTS!

Even though I bought this clip art set in 2000, and even though the copyright is as of 1999, apparently 1996 is where it's at ya'll!




RUNNING OF THE BULLS

Needless to say, there is a bizarre use of animals in this collection. Especially with the bull. For some reason, the people that made this collection are OBSESSED with bulls. Here are just a few of my favorites:

"Bull on Scooter"

Angry bull face + tiny legs delicately in place on scooter = hilarious.





"Bull - Potty 2"

First of all, I love how this is clearly a pictogram for "bullshit" - but the clip art company is too P.C. to title it such. But mostly I am delighted that this is "Bull - Potty 2" - in case you're not totally pleased with "Bull - Potty 1", you can always go with "Bull - Potty 2."





"Bull - Guilty"

Okay, I can't even begin to speculate what the bull is feeling guilty about...but I'm assuming it has something to do with him boning all those cows.



"Bull 15"

Is Bull 15 coming on to me? I am noticing a trend of clip art animals that look like they have something VERY naughty on their mind. For example:



Ant 2

Ant 2 doesn't even have a face but I can tell just by the way he's sitting that he is NASTY.




Not an animal - but what about this guy?

"Pencil - Happy"

You bet Pencil is happy. Look at the size of that point! He's even got pubes. Gross.


You guys. There is just so much rockbottom stuff here, I can't do it all at once. So next time we'll look at some of the clip art that I can only describe as completely INEXPLICABLE. Here's a preview:

"Lincoln Kicking Tire"
