We call this one "strange post" because of the odd post-and-chain fence (for it isn't a pier) running just above
the surface of the sea near the shore where Ariel looks backward in surprise at her reddened bottom.
We couldn't find the
original, but presumably the unknown artist intended her surprise to be at the presence of human legs instead
of a mermaid's tail. Of course this tranformation would leave her naked from the waist down, and Doctor Cylon
quickly realized there was an alternative post-spanking interpretion and applied his red coloring accordingly to
produce a very satisfying scene by the sea.
