I reckon the title says it all! What's your favorite Fig (drawing) in Erdnase? Just taking a poll...
Thanks for helping out! ~jamie

I guess I have stared at them for such a long time - it has to be either 74 or 75 (I truly cant make my mind between those two...).
This is certainly an interesting question, I cant't wait to see what all the other people prefer! All the best, Sven ^^

This may appear to be a self-evident and obvious answer... but it is in fact a highly contentious issue and not, to the best of my knowledge, resolved with any certainty.

Anybody who can blind shuffle with a pigs trotter for a left hand gets my vote.
What do we want?
A cure for tourettes! When do we want it? C*nt! |

Don't get me wrong, if we're taking bets I'll come down on the side of betting that Bee cards were used, but I wouldn't bet the farm. Jason

These are great! I love hearing people's reasons, too.
And Jason, whenever you stop by here, I feel like we should all stand, lol. Awesome for you to join in! But what's your favourite Fig? Your pal, jamie

Good old Erdnase.
The heart on the hand has been interpreted by some as a clue to a possible second artist or something, the meaning of a single Ace is debated, and the biggest mystery of all is still being argued. We love our puzzles. Maybe the heart on Fig.69 just means the author had a dirty mind

Jamie,
Fig. 95. There is something odd about it that I've never seen anyone mention before I started mentioning it. Jason

Hmm... Right hand is riffling with the middle and ring fingers--and the index and little fingers are on the back of the top card. I tried it and it felt funny.
