Murder in GooglyVille.

Today's story is a bit tragic.

Karl was found dead this morning!

He was run over by a truck, fractures all over his body.

The driver has fled from the spot and is still on the run.

The police have fenced off the crime scene while investigations are still ongoing...

...but we did have a googly eyed witness who saw it all happen.

"I told you people to slow the fuck down!"

Stan is still in shock, it all happened so quickly!

 

 


This post features two Googly friends I've previously introduced to you already. You might actually remember Stan from the most recent episode of "Things With Eyes Vol 63" that came out just about a month ago. But Karl, may he rest in peace, was actually really quite old, "Things With Eyes Vol 14" was published over a year ago and that means he even predates the beginning of the great #GooglyPrize competition on steemit by a few weeks!

Now, I have to admit the obvious here, Karl didn't really keep his original eyes throughout all that time, things on the ground just don't stick around very well. For the sake of storytelling I outfitted him with a pair of new eyes for this episode... unfortunately, when I found him like this, I couldn't quite recall the type of eyes I gave him originally and so we are having a wee bit of an issue with continuity here...

Dead Karl, today

Stan on the other hand, he's still looking through his original pair of eyes which I gave him over a month ago. I'm actually a bit surprised by that, given they are just pasted on with some adhesive putty and it's a rather busy corner of the park where a lot of kids come to play...

Shocked Stand, today


Leave your #GooglyEyes behind!

This post is part of a series in which I want to encourage fellow #GooglyEyes enthusiasts and #GooglyPrize participants to use these wiggly eyes as a tool to a make our physical world a better, a more enjoyable, a more googly place, permanently ... or at least for a bit longer than what it takes to shoot a picture.

It doesn't really matter, though, all types of creative googly expressionism are awesome, but still, my heart beats especially for the idea of hiding a cheerful little surprise to be discovered by a random stranger in the real world, too!


everything stays better with #GooglyEyes

@fraenk loves you!

GooOoglicious! Amazing, count me in for a walk like this any day. ;)

.. too bad for Karl, oh well life goes on.

Just keeping on trucking...

sorry Karl, no pun intended :P

Poor Karl,
what a terrible yet hilarious way to go!

haha... yeah man, poor Karl!

May the googly spirits have mercy on his soul, he was such a down to earth guy, it's a pity to see his existence crushed so violently... :P

Letting my eyes on the "crime scene" has not occurred to me yet. I will have to improve ;-). Thanks for your inspiration.

heh... yeah... #GooglyEyes friends should be left to roam freely in their natural habitat... but I think that mostly applies for urban and domestic googlies... I wouldn't want to leave all that plastic behind in the forest :P

I do most of the "eyes" in nature. I try to think of something natural ;-)

hehe, I know, that's why I thought I should mention the aspect of plastic waste here, wouldn't want your local forest all covered with small round pieces of plastic, they'll fall down sooner or later and plastic really doesn't decompose so well :P

;-). Several appropriately grouped stones will also do their work ;-)

Omg that is so funny😂 i want to start gluing eyes all over too..

Yeah, please, join the fun... it's hilarious fun just to walk around searching for a good googly subject...

Once you've found a good one, don't forget to post it on steemit and join the #GooglyPrize contest ;)

Are you the creator of this game?

well, I certainly didn't invent the idea of putting gooogly eyes on things in public places, but I was most likely the first to post images of that on steemit...

I felt pretty lonely under the tag #GooglyEyes, so I eventually started that little contest to bring some life into this niche...

Cool. Ill follow u and keep a eye out for your next game❤

Awesome, there's actually two dedicated accounts for the contest:

  • @googlyeyes hosts the contest and resteems all valid entries
  • @googlyprize only resteems contest related announcements

So if you just want to get the contest posts in your feed, you can just follow @googlyprize, but if you're totally into it you could follow @googlyeyes to get all the googly goodness that gets posted here on steemit...

Also, you don't ever have to wait for a new round to commence, the #GooglyPrize is a continuously recurring event, so you can basically post your entries whenever you feel like it and it's always going to be considered for the next winner selection...

Got it yup ill just follow u and the two accounts lol. Thanks ❤

Hello @fraenk, thank you for sharing this creative work! We just stopped by to say that you've been upvoted by the @creativecrypto magazine. The Creative Crypto is all about art on the blockchain and learning from creatives like you. Looking forward to crossing paths again soon. Steem on!

Well that's awesome :D You're most welcome to stop by anytime, heh ;)

Ahahah I love this googly post :D cheered me up somewhat..... Well apart from poor Karl.... Now I feel guilty..... Not so cheerful any more.... Whhhhyyyy Karl whyyyy.... 😮😁

just look at me, monetizing this poor fellow's tragic death on the blockchain... I'm the one who should feel ashamed...

maybe that makes you feel a little less guilty... then again... if it wasn't for people like yourself, would I even put up this content?!

Alas, blame the customer and carry on with business as usual... it's all fake news anyways ;)

It's the googly circle of life and blogging ;-) you post we laugh, we cry, we celebrate and you post again, we laugh, we cry, we c..... Forevermore.

OMFG this is truly tragic!
I dunno how Stan can sleep at night after witnessing all that.

He doesn't!

Maybe he starts to imagine things...
Go to sleep Stan!

I would love to have those eyes everywhere, in order to grab all those people who are hurting everything and doing evil
it must be great to have them greetings

umm... yeah, #GooglyEyes for peace....

but evil people tend to overlook these funny quirky things... so I'm not sure if it'll do any good against them... it certainly helps to brighten up the day of curious and nice people, though :D

so it is great to have these greetings after all ;)

What are google eyes are these google glasses?

heh, no, they're just those wiggle-eyes-stickers you can buy at the crafts store...

are you saying you've never seen #GooglyEyes before?! or are we just sparking up a conversation?
