Mean Snothing

Mean Snothing by Simen Wahlqvist gives an orange man a Newton's cradle for eyes, one ball caught mid-swing, on a flat green ground. The face underneath stays perfectly deadpan, which is the whole joke: physics happening on a forehead and nobody reacting. Drawn in Wahlqvist's spare, confident line, it is the kind of print that gets a second look from every guest, and it earns its place in a home office better than any motivational poster.
