Description It's that time of the year again! 
Posting it a bit early because I've got some stuff to do at the moment...

---The Invisible Pink Unicorn--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A great Goddess(?) created as a satire of theistic beliefs, and in itself a more modern version of Russel's
Teapot analogy, comparable to the Flying Spaghetti Monster in function. A symbol of atheism, it is both
parodoxically pink and invisible at the same time, and yet that makes perfect sense for its believers, not
unlike the contradictory characteristics presents in the beliefs of certain religions. If God exists simply
because its unexistence can't be proven, then surely a Celestial Teapot and an Invisible Pink Unicorn exist
as well... Right?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my third April Fools' post, so you can check out the Flying Spaghetti Monster and a certain alien 
overlord from a famous american cult, I mean, religion, as well while you're at it!  

I had no idea who I would do for this year's April Fools', my options at first included Hercolubus, Aetherius,
Sananda, Moroni, Russel's Celestial Teapot, Discordia, Saint Stupid and JHVH-1, but the IPU was chosen due
to it being somewhat more well known and because it looked like it could turn out into a fun design. I almost
went for a Majora's Mask moon-like Hercolubus though... Maybe next year?

Not much to say about the design itself this time though, It's quite simple, I just went for something absurd
and funny-looking. And I know it's not very "invisible", but come one, cut me some slack...  

Well, hope you all liked it, have fun and try not to be fooled out there!

How do you know it's pink if it's invisible.

You can send me a note if you so wish, I guess I could learn something interesting from it.
I'm not particularly interested in figures from pop culture, books or videogames though. The Flying Spaghetti Monster and Xenu are exceptions because someone actually "believes" in them, or just because of how absurd some of those are to let it slide. I've already got april fools material stocked up to draw for quite a few years already.

Many thanks! I tried to think up a quirky response, but couldn't think of anything either...
Probably an effect of the all-powerful and all-random IPU no doubt.
