The winners of the Washington Post Peep show have recently been announced, with the winner being “NightPeeps,” a delicious take on Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks. It is all there: The guy in the fedora, the soda jerk, the mysterious red head…or should I say pink eared?
Here is Nightpeeps and Nighthawks together at last:
The Peep-sterpiece was made by Melissa Harvey of Arlington, Virginia. She worked on two consecutive weekends, according to The Post. Let’s take a closer look inside at the painstaking detail. The plate or ashtray on the table that is a little obscured on the original is now a plate of carrots. Clay plates and mugs hold the caffeine and carrot feast, while a cap found in the medicine cabinet by Melissa Harvey’s husband serves as a drinking glass.
The original Nighthawks has been reproduced many times with everything from Disney characters to famous actors clocking in at the diner, and of course, there was a Lego version as well. Nightpeeps trumps them all by not only being interesting to look at, but delicious as well.

Do you like the atmosphere around here?
Okay, this was more pathetic than funny, but still it would be nice if you would rate me on Humor Blogs!
(You will have my undying appreciation!)
