It’s that time of year, and friends have begun sending me what I call peepnography, because they know how I feel about Peeps.
I love Peeps so much that sunny yellow Peeps were featured on the front cover of the hardback edition of my book I Shudder. I also consider this image to be my author photo.
I love Peeps because they’re delicious and because they disgust people, striking a perfect aesthetic balance.
The holy trinity: marshmallow, crystallized sugar, and food coloring.
Feast your eyes (aren’t you glad that I didn’t say something like “Take a peep” or “Get your peep on”?)
Peeps in terrible trouble:
Peepmobile:
Birth of a Peep:
One of many popular Peep dioramas, and a personal favorite:
a re-enactment of the Miracle on the Hudson, with Peeps:
The Peepsons:
My childood passport photo:
She’s even more beautiful this way:
An all-Peeps production of Hamlet:
A sordid Peeps strip club:
Always remember: if you love something, don’t set it free. Eat it.
