Fair but anyone in the creative field back in those days was off their nut on LSD. The one at the top looks like some kind of magic mushroom land and that tree god thing... oh its just me...

It was more explictly aimed at kids in those days too.

An adult grabbing a coffee and muffin on the way to the office can do that in the bottom image. You'd feel like a sex offender sitting in the top one reading your emails over a latte.

Adults that feel like sex offenders in totally normal scenarios might just be.

Anyone who thinks an adult having a coffee in that top image is a totally normal scenario is not someone whose opinion the rest of us need to worry about.

It’s literally a dining room of a fast food restaurant. I feel sorry for you that as an adult you’ve lost all appreciation for whimsy. The modern world is far too sterile. As an adult with kids I see nothing wrong with another adult to be in a restaurant drinking coffee. I’d be a bit concerned if they were playing in the old McDonalds playground with kids present but I also recognize that child rapist make up about .05 percent of the population vs the amount of adults that just like to still have fun.

I'm baffled that a parent with a high appreciation for whimsy took my obvious joke as a serious comment and started genuinely thinking it was about sex with children.
