Welcome to another edition of the Misadventures in Stock Photography! Today we’ll be checking in to see what Baddest Santa Guy‘s been up to. (I really didn’t want to believe this was Baddest Santa Guy, nor that the covers without a jacket were the same guy as the covers with a jacket, but… the hairline and the underwear line say otherwise.) (Don’t forget you can hover your cursor over the covers to see the title text as used in the Misadventure!)

“My name is Mayhem and I disapprove of this post.” -Mayhem

Not sure exactly how May’s left eye is going to look in the end. Not only did it get scratched during the Chaotic Misadventure, but after she developed the abscess in the back of her mouth, the left side of her face was all swollen… the point where she couldn’t completely close her left eye the morning the vet drained the abscess. From back when Chaos scratched his eye, I know it will take her a while to get used to holding that eye completely open again, so hopefully the pirate thing is temporary. But while her left pupil reacts to light ok, it also seems to stay slightly larger than the right. Still! She’s alive and getting back to herself, which is the biggest thing.

Welcome to another edition of the Misadventures in Stock Photography! Today we’ll be trying to catch up with Baddest Santa Guy – and this time, he actually makes it out of bed. 😉

The end! Just in case you were worried about how much sense some of the recent Misadventures have made… 😉
