It's Bad Author Photo Time


This one is easy. Jim Butcher is the crazy-popular author of the mega-successful Dresden Files books. I don't even read Sci-Fi and think they're pretty good. The author photo, however, is a different story. Maybe it's the My-Brain-Is-So-Giant-I-Have-To-Prop-Up-My-Head pose. Maybe it's the arched eyebrow that tells us that he's knows we're not as smart as him. But really, I think it's the hair. Long hair on any guy who isn't up on stage in a band at the very moment you see him or maybe Fabio (if he's still alive) looks kind of silly. Now that I think about it, forget Fabio. The flowing locks are what I like to call the Hola Babes look. "All I have to do," the long locked fellow thinks, "is shake my head like this and the ladies are gonna flock to me."

  1. Ech - that eyebrow definitely needs to be lowered back down to a respectable level appropriate for mixed company.

  2. his smirk says "YOU think my books are OK and that's why I am RICH"
    He really should not have rolled the sleeves up to show his fur though.
    peace and love

  3. Agree with the long hair, glad he cut it. If you ever get a chance to see him live, though, check him out. Very entertaining speaker.
