Since his creation June 2, Flat Dave has joined Real Dave's mom at the dentist's office, attended a motorcycle show, posed with a decidedly three-dimensional dancer from a local gentleman's club and lounged for hours at a relative's graduation party.
Meet Flat Dave. He's a real stand-up guy. | Chicago Tribune
Flat Dave is a two-dimensional cardboard likeness of Real Dave, aka Thick Dave, who lives in Chicago. Thick Dave does. Flat Dave lives with Thick Dave's family over there by Iowa. Where else?
According to this Chicago Tribune (registration, alas, required, but free), Flat Dave was the brainstorm of Thick Dave's mom, who figured two dimensions were better than none, apparently, or maybe just always wanted a flat kid. In any event, Flat Dave has become quite the celebrity in the Quad Cities area - four cities (but you already figured that part out, right?) including Moline, East Moline, and a couple of others, I forget, on the Illinois-Iowa boarder. You have to actually be there, in the Quad Cities, to actually understand it, maybe.
Anyway, speaking of being easily amused.
