actually, a lot of cultures get offended if you eat everything on the plate. it's a sign that they didn't give you enough.

I was willing to get behind the abandoned building, but this one I'm not so sure about.

I'll explain a bit, although feel free to make your own interpretations (that's the beauty of a signifier that has no clear cut connection to a signified):
@egli right on with the female chromosomes comment. I can see somebody took science seriously in school (I didn't, unfortunately!).
Yes, this is a homage to my mother's cooking. While she doesn't get mad if you're late, or pissed if you don't eat everything on your plate, I felt that those stereotypical traits would help the viewer identify with the image. Futhermore, I do not wish to associate my mother with some kind of consumer/producer diner, for she makes all her food with love regardless of any economic factors. I wrote the oedipal complex comment as a joke, you know, the whole mom conspiring with the son to poison the patriarch's food (for clarification, I don't think it's funny, but I think it's funny that it's presented here as a joke).
I don't like trying to do a semantic/identification hunt with these drawings becuase they are interesting when some sort of odd resignification occurs in the TweakToday user's mind, i.e., it makes the pieces much less boring when somebody really digs it or doesn't like it all (heh, externalizing something in your own mind makes you care about it more, right?).
I'll post more "photos" from Tux Paint in the future, but please feel free to post your comments if you like/don't like/are unsure of the piece; I think it adds some sort of meta-meaning or meta-feeling.
