Happy Birthday, David Firth

The Man Who Made Salad Fingers

Happy 25th, David Firth!

The creator of a few strange but entertaining flash animations such as Salad Fingers, Burnt Face Man and Devvo is celebrating his quarter-century one today. Firth's characters depict what must go on in his head: they are strange, stick-figured humanoid creatures dealing with the abtract, the surreal and often mentally ill. Although it's fun to venture into someone else's subconscious imagination, we must remember it's mere vacationing, lest it remind us too much of our own deeper selves. That's not blood, it's red water. Creepy.

I would like to see a picture of David Firth. I am a fan, not only of Salad Fingers, but of David's also.
