“Chomp! 2” is a current exhibition of carnivorous plants at San Francisco’s Conservatory of Flowers.

They made this great poster for the show, which has a comic book style reminiscent of pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. The poster was designed by Public Design of San Francisco.

Chomp 2! Return of the Carnivorous Plants features expanded displays of these natural born killers with dazzling, new additions like the Dionaea B-52, the world’s largest Venus flytrap with traps up to two inches square, and the aptly named (for a bug, that is) ‘Abandoned Hope,’ a pitcher plant hybrid that can grow up to two feet tall.

Here’s an article on the exhibition which runs through October 31. More on Roy Lichtenstein.

Actor, nerd, poet, producer, writer mikl-em made his name short so you wouldn't have to. In addition to his blog you can find his writing in "Hi Fructose" magazine and witness him almost life-sized in various plays at The Dark Room Theater in SF's Mission district.

He tends to write about theater, humor, San Francisco culture and history, and stuff that's just plain weird. He thanks Scott for sharing the keys to the Laughing Squid virtual HQ and promises to uphold whatever it is that the mirthful cephalopod would prefer to be uplifted.
