MrBekkler being an intelligent but innocent smiley face
I have to say, it took me a long time to settle on the Watchmen Smiley for an avatar. I kept trying to find different clowns to go along with the "Bekkler theme" but eventually decided that some people are afraid of clowns, and even the cool, intentionally scary clowns, like Killer Klowns from Outer Space, give off the vibe that one listens to Insane Clown Posse. I don't appreciate the association with said group, if for no reason than that their fans are ridiculous (if you need a real reason, listen to a song or two by them...horrible). So I went through some other options (including Joker, which I still use... elsewhere).
It then hit me. I don't need a clown. My conversation and thoughts regarding the Chronoverse grow more serious and less jokey by the day, and I could represent myself with something I actually
like. Thus, the Watchmen Smiley. It's a good mix of lighthearted and serious, and comes from a story I love.
And tush, personally if a signature is not text, I find it to be spammy in general. Especially in the case of massive animated signatures that take a long time to load and completely overshadow the post of the user with said sig.
Edit: Your sig is perfectly appropriate, and I didn't really mind the dancing hamsters, I just thought you were really into "cute" stuff.
I've stumbled upon a wonderful artist and now feel the urge to change my avatar again. Bear with me, it's pretty awesome.
