Separated at Birth?

There are only so many configurations for the human face, what with most of us limited to having just two eyes and one nose, and the general placement of them being fairly restricted unless you're a Picasso.

But every now and then I'm watching TV and still find myself surprised at HOW MUCH someone on there looks like somebody else.

So instead of me making comments about these things to my television set-- which almost NEVER answers back-- I thought I'd post some of my favorite celebrity look-alikes here.

Like how about James Dyson of the Dyson vacuum cleaner commercials...


And Julian Sands, the actor who was in Warlock and Stephen King's Rose Red...?


I always find myself rooting on James Dyson, just because the guy's entire life seems to be about making vacuum cleaner prototypes. He's probably not a lot of fun at parties, but I bet he has a really clean house. And I think having Julian Sands play him in a film version of the Dyson story could be entertaining, because Julian is usually evil. So maybe the vacuum cleaners could turn out to be possessed or something... sort of like Christine, but with more suction and fewer traffic accidents.

Okay, next we have Doctor Who's David Tennant...


And Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond...


Okay, yes, David Tennant is well over six feet tall, and Richard Hammond is about 5 foot seven. But still... (And yep, I do watch a lot of BBC America, why do you ask?)

All righty, how about actor Dax Shepard...



And actor Zach Braff, "Newbie" from Scrubs?...

Not initially knowing Dax Shepard, but watching Scrubs, I admit, I spent a good portion of Zathura trying to figure out why Zach Braff's voice sounded strange.

So what do you think, folks-- am I way off base here? Has there been anyone you think bears a striking resemblance to someone you'd care to share?

Humor-blogs has no look-alikes. But that's probably because of all the plastic surgery.

Sheardon and Woolworth Celebrate Doodle Week

Welcome to "Animal Doodle Day" here at Of Cabbages and Kings, as "Doodle Week" sweeps the blogosphere!..

Okay, well, maybe not the WHOLE blogosphere. More like a side road... Maybe a dingy alley. (And boy, can that alley USE some sweeping, too-- just LOOK at those cigarette butts and wads of used chewing gum!)

Er-- but still-- nifty bloggers all! Go check 'em out.:)

Anyway, my friendly neighborhood comic strip sheep-- Shearadon and Woolworth-- have volunteered to join us today for a very special guest appearance. Shearadon NEVER misses an opportunity for the spotlight. My gawd, you should just HEAR him bleating out Karaoke down at The Meadow! He earns points for pluck and enthusiasm, bless his woolly noggin, but his rendition of Cake's "Sheep Go to Heaven, Goats Go to Hell" is enough to make your ears bleed.

Anyway, when last we left our fleecy heroes, Shearadon (the one in the loud Aloha shirt) had announced to brother sheep Woolworth (with the tie and John Lennon glasses) that he had started a blog, and he APPEARED to have some very interesting motivators for doing so. (You can click here to view that strip.)...

And now-- on, with part two!




Oh, before I go, Shearadon has been just BEGGING me to give him a link to his blog. To be honest, I'm fairly picky about who I link to, and I admit, I have some definite reservations about this. Also, I told him, I don't think my current readership really hits the Sheep-American demographic. But as a professional courtesy to him and also because he threatened to quit my comic strip, you can check out his blog by clicking here.

Don't say I didn't warn you! (There, Shearadon-- there you go. Now get off my back about it.)

Special thanks to Claire of A Little Piece of Me for getting us all doodling again.

Shearadon's been trying to hack into Humor-blogs. He really wants into their top 50.
