ITT: Tell us the inspiration for your avatar

I was reading a lot of DC comics at the time, and wanted to do something comic book related. However, though I'm not very original, I wanted something somewhat unique. Detective Chimp seemed like a good choice, as he was a fairly obscure character they dug out from under a rock in their archives to throw into Shadowpact.
 
You idiots! You don't get it - I've won! It's over! You're milksuckers! You don't matter! In fact, in just a few seconds you won't even BE matter!
 
ABC Warriors from 2000AD.
 
sonic fan realizing sonic will never attain the glory he once had. Thus we are both old relics in 2012 stuck in the 90's new jack swing era. We drink away our sorrows.
 
I've always enjoyed low-res avatars from obscure games. A while ago, I used an avatar from some super-obscure PC98 game. Cool stuff.

Such is the way of those who are victims to Avatar Compulsion Disorder.
 
A stupid and random Internet cartoon I watched when I first got dial up but had many great stoner loner nights watching it. Plus it's a egg
 
Javier Hernandez, this pic is from his first season, he scored some crazy goals that year hence the "Dat goal" and the glasses which come from the "Dat ass" meme.

Also, i'm mexican and a ManUtd fan so it was a given :P

While I was a junior, somebody claimed that I am some idiot who liked Kevin James movies or something because I hammered on some stupid movie that they liked...ya know, the kind of movie that isn't intelligent at all but tries very hard to be...maybe Inception or something.

It happened again recently when a mod proclaimed that I can't appreciate low-production value...even though, in real life, I frequent local theater on a monthly basis and on Gaf I am constantly harking about how production != quality and that "hype" is equivalent to "Hi, I'm a corporate shill"

And so I decided to take that in stride and have Paul Blart Mall Cop represent me.
 
I was looking for Minamu's old animated avy, with the Japanese cheerleader shooting finger pistols at the camera. Google threw this up, I thought it was cool.

Cat out of the bag. A few people asked if this was own work. It's not. I'm a filthy charlatan.
 
It is a platypus character that I have like a mascot that I love to draw and sometimes even do some comics wich made me receive fanarts of her .. wich is kinda surreal considering how crap those comics are xD

She is cosplaying Link (started with Minish Cap's link and then pink hair because it was pink hair avatar season) .... the idea was to change every few times to another cosplay ... but ... i'm lazy =P
 
I like Doctor Who. I don't like to change. Hence, even though the Eleventh Doctor has been around for years, I still rock my Tenth Doctor avatar.
 
Since there's no picture of Switters from Fierce Invalids from Hot Climates on the internet, I was forced to make my avatar one of this gentleman being surprised in the head with a water balloon.
 
Its me dressed as Mr Pogo for Halloween. Every year my bar throws a block party for Halloween and I try to come up with the most offensive costumes.
 
I like cats, I like psychedelic things. It was better when the glasses were animated, though.

I'm ready to switch back to my alternate avatar for awhile. It's my favorite album, Grace. For me, it's more than just good music, it's something that I have a deep personal connection to. It's full of songs that helped me through some of the rough patches in my life. Listening to it is like a walk through memory lane.
