EarthBound sighting.

There was a link on Waxy tonight with this intriguing summary: “Justine Lai’s oil paintings of herself having sex with each US President.” (Very NSFW, naturally.)
The paintings are all well and good, but the coolest part of the site is the loading throbber that comes up when you click on an image. It only lasts a fraction of a second, but after clearing my cache and reloading the page a couple of times I managed a screenshot:
A pencil! If you’re a gamer, it may be familiar to you as the infamous “pencil-shaped iron statue” from cult classic RPG EarthBound. Observe:
It’s a neat (if somewhat random) reference. Of all the painters who imagine sexual encounters with dead presidents, Justine definitely has the best taste in video games (or at least icons).
I will never look at our Presidents the same way again.
