Still from Twilight Zone's "The Masks," where terrible people waiting for the family patriarch to die so they can inherit his money are instructed by him to wear grotesque masks--reflections of their inner ugliness--until midnight if they want a dime from him. They do, and lo and behold, old guy dies, they're rich, they take off the masks and...their faces froze that way.

Taking out of other person's mentions, respecting their wishes. On whether it's kosher to mock Noem's/others' cosmetic surgery:

I think cosmetic *choices* are fair game, not least bc all MAGA women (& half the men) have the same look. Grotesque Stepford.

In fact, now starting to think that "Adrian" is Elon going out in public like
From "The Substance:" "Monstro Elisasue," a grotesque mutant with limbs and boobs and teeth growing from everywhere, slaps a paper cutout of her former face on what passes for its face and draws red lipstick on the mouth. She's going to have her Big Night as a star, dammit!

The energy I bring to Blue Sky
From Hyperbole and a Half, a cartoony blond girl in pink with a strained, manic grin, sticklike arms spread wide, surrounded by purple swiggles, emoticon happy faces :D, and confetti, and under an arching rainbow, above which is written in a scrawl, "maybe everything isn't hopeless bullshit" (it's the end of her two parter on depression)

Marvin Martian, busily trying to light the fuse to the Illudium Q Space Modulator to blow up the Earth. Below him, propped up on a short flight of steps, Bugs regards him bemusedly.

Still from the Twilight Zone episode "The Masks," where the greedy, awful descendants of a dying tycoon remove the grotesque masks he forced them to wear in order to inherit his money, only to discover their faces have frozen that way.

I think the entire GOP is pretty much this:
(From "The Masks" episode of "The Twilight Zone." A greedy, venal family gathers around their dying patriarch on New Year's Eve, only interested in the will. He insists that they all wear grotesque, facially distorting masks til midnight to get their $. Surprise-he dies, clock strikes, masks come off-their faces froze that way.
