Anthology easter eggs

we've discussed using "fracture" as anthology's theme.  we've also talked about visually including some arbitrary items across the board, like hidden easter eggs.  here is a post for suggestions!

this is an x-ray of a leg fracture.  it could fit easily into a background, e.g. non sequitur in place of a poster on the wall of a room or on the street.


attractively broken or fractured objects could be incorporated as scenery:




i thought about what kind of animal might symbolize fracture.  maybe a two-headed frog or snake --  change (the frog) or rebirth (the snake) with two possible outcomes + disturbing.

 
but an easter egg doesn't have to be meaningful! perhaps an ordinary object, like this lovely typewriter:

 

or consider this humorous stag:


a common graffiti phrase or image could be another easy thing to throw in the background:


w/r/t pop culture references, we might sneak in a children's book character...



...or a comics reference...


...or this hilarious sign from the widely popular viral video, "Going To The Store"


a different thought entirely: panels modeled, in the style of our own universes, after famous or beloved paintings or illustrations:
 
 
 

 

if either of you are as fond of Parra's weird bird people as i am, well, i wouldn't mind seeing one of them showing up in the background either:

finally, there's real life: risd campus references, isb references, faculty likenesses (Paul!), or likenesses of our friends / each other could appear in our comics. (i know for a fact that pally is incorporating the fourth floor water fountain into his advanced project)
