I was going through a bunch of old photoshops I’d done. Most are unfinished ideas of some sort. Many of them are dated sometime in 2003. While wading through these, I found this:
I assume this was going to be some sort of joke, but I don’t remember making it, much less what the idea was. It isn’t very funny like this. Still, it’s clearly something I did (I have it saved as a .psp in seperate layers, which wouldn’t be the case if I’d just found it someplace) and it was odd to find something I’d done, and of which I have no clear memory.
I wish I could remember the joke. I must be getting old.

I Was Wrong About Borderlands 3
