Illustrator Puts Beards on Formerly Beardless Characters

Batman with Beard
The Croatian illustrator Vanja Mrgan recently had an epiphany in the place where most of us make the greatest discoveries of our lives. He explains: "So I was sitting on the toilet recently reading a Conan short story when it struck me like a bolt of lightning. Conan should have a beard!" (I'm assuming that by "Conan" he's referring to the barbarian, not the talk show host, although it's hard to say since neither has a beard.)

At any rate, this realization led Mrgan to undertake a truly delightful project: He will add beards to every fictional beardless character he can think of until he runs out of ideas. The series, titled Bearded, is up to 9 so far, and includes a bearded Batman (pictured) and Robocop sporting some seriously Santa-like facial hair. I'm not sure if he's taking requests, but Ronald McDonald would look totally terrifying with a big, shaggy, Grizzly Adams-style beard. (NOTCOT)
