Hippo Fan Photos, Page 2 Words by Eric Cochrane, Photos by YOU! Mr. Hippo
This is Mr. Hippo, and here he is in front of the Duomo in Florence. He may or may not be about to have a supremely epic battle against Godzilla and Mothra.
Nope. Looks like he's actually pretty small for a full-grown hippopotamus. Either that or the Arch of Constantine shrank since Hippo visited.
This is a Bernini sculpture or whatever. Guys guys GUYS! Do you think Mr. Hippo's first name is "Mr.?" That would make a lot of sense.
I'll be the first to accuse this image of being photoshopped (welcome to the Internet Mr. Hippo, it's full of horrible people like me!) because there is no way they managed to get their hippo that close to Ghiberti's doors when we couldn't. By the way, did some classy, educated comic book author reference this gate? Or did I draw Ronin's gate? I can't remember.
Here's a shot of Mr. Hippo after he finished the local Roman past-time: puking your guts out in the Forum after a night on the town!
If you say so, Mr. Hippo. But I don't really see a resemblance.. and that's not his pose at all.
