You're still a winner in my book Met!

problem resides in those who haven't seen Afro Samurai, like me.

Oh... I could grow a mop on my head if I wanted. I've even been told by many a barber that I have some of the thickest hair they have ever cut. Hence the reason I've shaved my head since I was about 18.

It read ok to me but I must say that all that hair threw me a bit.

I agree about seeing them in context with everything else!

As I said in the description... it was based off of the character Afro Samurai (just white, and with a beard).

i believe the key is that it gets its readbility when you already know the rest of the emoticons you're made, and/or its placed near them. because i did get that it was you dumbo(but i believe a samurai helmet is more effective to be read as a samurai. actually looks more like ryu form street fither or a kamikaze.. dunno)

Interesting. Well it is a very small area to work within here. And I'm using the same template for all of these emoticons. So I don't know what else I could've done here to make it read better.

Any suggestions?

it's pretty hard to read, IMO. at first I thought it'd be some kind of 2 legged crab-creature crawling up a wall.
