244 - Cheap Chocolate Season Begins

What a better way to celebrate the beginning of Cheap Chocolate Season 2010 than by regurgitating repurposing some old newly re-issued artwork:


Cheap Chocolate Season means that you can sometimes pick up holiday-themed chocolate candy for a cut-rate price for a few days after the holiday ends.  There's a wintery stretch between Hallowe'en and Easter where this trend runs strong.  However, it's getting harder to find retailers who will discount their chocolate snacks: evolutionary hermetic packaging and contemporary chemical preservatives mean that a shopkeeper can just store the unsold candy and sell it for full price the next year.  At least this is what I think happens, judging by the abysmal quality of mass-produced candy these days. 

In honour of re-using holiday treats, I've taken the artwork from my previous Cheap Chocolate Season post on JSVB (please click here to see it) and added it to my artwork regarding the loss of the so-called "Michael Jackson Zombie" from the popular Plants vs. Zombies videogame (and you can please click here to see that).  A couple of fancy yet needless Photoshop permutations later, and there we have it: today's groundbreaking JSVB entry.
