"It Was THIS Big!"

A recent thread over at the Original Dungeon & Dragons Discussion forum has had me reexamining my copy of Eldritch Wizardry. While perusing those pages, I rediscovered the following image:
I’m not sure why, but there’s something about the above picture that keeps making me think that it requires some sort of humorous, snarky, weird, or witty caption to accompany it*. And for the life of me, I just can’t come up with the right one.

*My apologies to the artist for openly mocking his/her work but this piece hits me in the goofy bone.

You guys have got some good ones. The only thing that sprang to my mind was:

"Great! We fight our way through ten levels of dungeon and this is our final reward? The Hug of Vecna?! Your campaign sucks, Rick!"

"The Hug of Vecna?!"

LOL! :D

The votes may still be out, but it's Amityville Mike FTW, I'd say.

"You know what they say about a man with big hands." Seriously, his palms are bigger than the entire size of his head.

I'm still laughing about Gene the Dancing Machine, please make it stop...
