Somehow, I think I got a shave, too.
At least Wilkins looks exactly as he does in real life.

Did you hear about the scio10 civility meltdown? More about that in a minute. As you may have heard, it got a bit. . . uncivil. I wasn't there, so you, like me, will have to get your impression from this highly realistic renactment, created by an attendee who witnessed the confrontation between…
Ken Ham, chief wackaloon at Answers in Genesis, was invited to speak…at a Pentagon prayer breakfast.
Just let that sink in.
There are people at the Pentagon who are in charge of planning where your sons and daughter and nephews and nieces and other beloved family members and friends will be sent to…
We have a couple of more eye-witnesses to the start of Dawkins' lecture tour in Arizona, Jim Lippard and John Wilkins. Lippard gives an interesting account, while Wilkins…well, I guess Dawkins interrupted his lecture to walk up the aisle, smack John with a truncheon a few times, rifle his wallet,…
It's easy to forget what a repellent, sniveling little turd-speck Sal Cordova is until one is reminded by a reference on a blog worth reading (it's not as if I read Cordova's ugly little site myself, you know). The occasion this time is that Slimy Sal has just discovered that Joan Roughgarden, the…
On your shoulder, Chuck has a bit more hair, so perhaps he shaved the beard to make a toupee?
That can't be you: where are your tentacles?
And suckers?
And your vast hordes of nightmarish thralls?
I had trouble working out which one was meant to be you, PZ. Wilkins was easy, without even needing to double-check his blog. After going over all the faces in the picture several times and coming back here, I see my best guess matches someone else's comment - about having a Charles Darwin (probably!) on your shoulder. I have no idea what the figure on the other shoulder was meant to be though. A red devil?
The other thing is a cephalopod, or possibly a miniature version of one of the Great Old Ones.
The mac should have been a tipoff.
I was wondering if the debut of the Pharyngula column in this month's issue explained all the 2-page spreads of jellyfish photos...
But where was Orac?
Orac's right up front, on the right.
Orac is the glass box at the bottom right-hand corner (and GrrlScientist is the owl on Shelley's shoulder).
I swear, I am not a Seed plant. But this whole issue was really well-done. I enjoyed the cavefish column as well.
And the squid/Darwin dichotomy was pretty much how I always figured your angel/devil dichotomy worked...
Now I know why Wilkins always seems like that 1000lb Gorilla in the room.
As someone who sees you on a regular basis, I had a devil (hoo-dee-hoo-dee-hoo) of a time finding you even though you were front and center. The change in facial hair completely threw me. Love the shoulder companions, though!
