The Earthbound Camera man and René Magritte's "Golconda" painting...
crazy, I know, but I was looking at the painting recently and it reminded me of the quirky camera man from Earthbound.
Spinning down from the sky periodically to take a picture.
"Fuzzy Pickles!"
you can see the painting here:

Fix your link, dude.
common wiki linking problem, just add a ) to the end of it and it'll work.
there we go, it should work now. Sorry about that.
Thanks for the help.
Magritte rocks
Empire of Light is one of my favorite paintings. Ever.
Whats going on there is so clever and so subtle that sometimes people don't notice it at all.

Or am I missing it completely?
Yes. I wouldn't expect many DP'ers to miss that (we're a clever lot) ... but I'm an art teacher and you'd be surprised how many people CAN miss that.
"And the book says: 'We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.'"
I'll admit it took me a second or two. I thought it was going to be something crazy like the ones with the canvases.
As weird references go, it's up there.
And now to buy that lovely coastal property in Onett.

Wow, that painting is incredible. It has a calming effect for me.
God I FELL for that.
There's something... funky... going on with that lamp post too.
I really like the reference. Thanks for sharing, and cool painting.
I kinda missed him in Mother 3. The doorknob gag just doesn't have the same punch.

The thought just struck me, and I really felt the need to share it, haha.
and speaking of that house you can buy near the coast, here's another René Magritte painting that kinda reminds me of it:
Until I walked through it, I thought the hole in the wall was a picture. But I'd say the house was worth the money. Demon baby articles and all.
