Spotted in Berkeley: WTF???

This is stapled to a telephone pole on a busy intersection downtown. I stood on the sidewalk and stared at this thing for a good 3-4 minutes, but I still have no fucking clue what's going on here. Thoughts?

clearly the supervolcano is about to blow, and some simple-minded, artistically-challenged, possible city employee is trying to warn us.
Gotta run and start packing.

Well, it depends on what the ugly guy is saying in his comic word bubble. But.... my guess is that the supervolcano is about to blow and the long-necked, disproportionately armed man ignored the "stay off hill" sign, or in other words, "stay off supervolcano" sign, and it blew up and sent him cartwheeling down the "hill" , right past ugly guy who didn't share his thoughts quick enough. Or, loud enough, maybe. And now the city of Berkely MUST be warned.....at a staff level.

Duh.

The guy is saying 'design review' because of the obvious design flaw of putting a volcano in the middle of the city of Berkeley? If that's it, I must say I totally agree with him.

Hilarious! But maybe I'm just saying that 'cause my husband is a zoning attorney and let me be the first to say that zoning reviews could use a LOT more humor. And possibly volcanoes.

Clearly there is a "hill" that is going to blow and the creepy man-thing living in the hill is going to come out and I don't know what. Eat the man who fell over the hill/volcano?!? Sounds plausible.

They're saying one of two things: 1) The city of Berkeley has a severe budget problem or 2) The city employees have way too much time on their hands. Or maybe it's both. I wonder if the artist knows he's famous now? =)

Have you ever seen Lewis Black (if not look him up on YouTube)? He has a bit about how you catch snippets of conversations when you're out, and it can cause aneurysms, like the one he caught at IHOP where a girls said "If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college." Now when my kids do something mind numbing, my husband and I say to each other "If it weren't for my horse....." This is definitely one of those moments.

Someone obviously thinks the changes that are occuring involve a volcano. Also? They are running from change and have slipped and fallen.
I feel bad for the artist.

I am sitting probably no more than a mile from this sign. For real. I am tempted to drive around with a minivan full of kids trying to find it so I can analyze it further. However, seeing as how it is in Berkeley, that's really all we need to know, isn't it? Lol. And why aren't we hanging out in real life? Too busy tweeting, probably :P

I now want several of these posters where I can just draw silly crap in the "draw some silly crap" section of the official notice. I love this!

"The City of Berkeley has determined that it will be in the best interest of the design review committee to sacrifice one dancing person per month to an erupting volcano. The said "sacrificee" shall be required to keep a brass instrument of some type at or near foot level while cartwheeling and dancing toward the intended erupting natural disaster. Simultaneously, the City shall provide one ape-like creature to narrate said sacrifice, starting with the words, "design review". Any comments or dispute with said proposal shall be in drawing on 8.5 x 11 yellow paper and attached to the same telephone pole as the original. Copies will not be accepted."
