Fisherman or a Duck?
November 15, 2006 by Vurdlak
I believe you already saw this picture circulating the net. It's really old, but classic optical illusion. If you look at this double meaning picture, you will first see a giant duck holding a guy in her beak. But if you rotate the picture for 180 degrees, you will get a different image: a fisherman relaxing in his boat, while some big fish is passing him by. If you like multiple meaning pictures, don't forget to check: Da Vinci code ambigrams, autumn motives, hand print in sand, people in the wall...

yes i've seen it before but its very cool!
Wikked Yeah!
Really cool... At first I could not imagine how it can be a fisherman until I saw the second picture...
You should be aware that this drawing is a little part of a serie were Gustave Verbeck (1867 - 1937) presented a whole story that consisted to show on one comic page two pages (you turned the page to have the second one). If my memory is OK I think he did about 60 pages in this way. They are called "the upside downs of little lady lovekins and old man muffaroo’ and appeared in the New York Herald from 1903 to 1905. Lady Lovekins changed in Old Man Muffaroo as you turned the page and vice-versa.
This is hilarious, but really cool =)
Gustave Verbeck obviously used a combination of time travel and PHOTOSHOP!!1!
what the heck is it with people and photoshop and time machines? seriously!!!
I love it...very cool.
Haha! This is amazing! It was so Odd at first because I can kind of see a Hanging Sheep from the duck's beak if its right. I never thought it was a Fisherman!
it is very stupid
Hey sure verbeck would have been glad to use Photoshop !!!
it is crazy
cool
I've seen this before and the "duck" is in fact a dodo.
The person who did this drew it.
first! I'M FIRSST!! I've never been first before! this is such a cool game! made my day.
It's really cool. I saw it in a magazine with alot of other comics like this
I think that this is a dumb thing, cuz if u think about it, wut is the body of the upside down bird supposed to be??
