Now that the oversized Cool Spot turned out to be a six-foot insect, I’m glad any size discrepancies have been cleared up. (Although it only just now occurs to me why a male mantis might not want to get too physically involved with the objects of his affection.)
I do miss the 90s trend of just adding sunglasses to some item or animal and calling it your brand mascot, but I guess once they reached the point of sticking them to random geometry, it was time to admit the well had run dry.
I mean I would definitely dress as a beverage mascot if it allowed me inside a shower room like this. Though Kool-Aid Man wouldn’t work so well, as even if I used very opaque Kool-Aid brand kool-aid, and some kind of flexible glass material, they would still immediately know I wasn’t the real deal when I didn’t smash through walls. Which I still wouldn’t do because what did walls ever do to me? Held my stuff in is what. Respect walls.
NAR: The enlightened male mantis is a pure window shopper, no doubt. Anyway, the real challenge is to make a trapezoid look cool using sunglasses.
Cold: See, you wanna dress as the Hamburglar. They’ll be too busy guarding their hamburgers to even register the sex crime.
If you look closely, you can tell it’s a costume because of the thickness. The real Cool Spot’s body is completely 2d. This is a very helpful tip if you’re ever struggling to identify whether someone new you’ve met is Cool Spot or not.
Creeper Mantis is an interesting character, because he’s only useful (from a writing perspective) in certain very specific circumstances, but if you’re in one of those circumstances you don’t really have a choice to use anyone but him.

IS Cool Spot’s body 2D, though? According to the cover of his video game, he’s 3D:

Of course, that could just be a matter of rendering a 2D character in a 3D setting, but it IS an officially licensed product, so the jury is out in my book.
But that IS a cool trapezoid. It definitely smokes at school and does other things that would get it in trouble in a horror movie. Bravo.
(Great touch making the sunnies trapezoids.)
reminds me of the painted shading they gave to Sonic in the American art, traced over the original which is stylized and flat-shaded so you don’t have to think about how his spikes work, they are just Mickey ears that arrange however they need to. But for the full painting, they had to guess how it looked in 3D. and they largely guessed wrong.
