10/10 goes to Fluff's new avatar of A Cattin Sane. Great joke; great image.

My own avatar hasn't changed, of course, but I'm really here to show off my new bit-below-the-username.

What is your avatar btw, Lis?

^ It's a drawing by an Argentinian cartoonist called Quino. Here it is, big enough to see in detail:-

I like it because it shows a guy happily drawing a box around himself for protection, but what's immediately obvious is that he is willfully constricting himself. That's the story of our life, man! What we struggle to construct to keep ourselves safe becomes our prison - materially, intellectually and emotionally.

And how about you, windsock, who's the guy in your avatar, and why Mr. Impossible?

Oh I never noticed the tongue, I thought he was gritting his teeth this whole time.

^ No, he's like many of us - happily engrossed in a waste of time of his own choosing!

Your avatar is the President of China, right? I think I liked better some of your more "arty" avatars tbh.

Spoiler for Some more Quino pics:

Cool!

My avatar is Andrew Broder, the multi-instrumentalist behind the band Fog. Mr. Impossible, as I'm sure you're aware, is one of the "Mr. Men" books in Roger Hargreaves' series. I don't know why I like it very well. Maybe it has to do with him sort of signifying himself as Mr. Impossible, as in he can do the impossible (which obviously isn't true but an interesting sentiment nonetheless), or maybe it's caused he looks pissed off for no reason. It's probably just cause I like the aesthetic, as is with many of my internet avatars.

Nice to see you learned to type with one free hand, Ponyboy.

Your best so far. 9/10.
