Lois the Twenty-Something

My latest offering to Deviantart is this portrait of Lois Griffin from the Family Guy episode titled, "Lois Comes Out of Her Shell." In it, Lois is depressed over being middle-aged, so Peter arranges a birthday party for his spouse with all of their friends. Then the insensitive fat slob reads a speech that compares Lois to a plow horse. Not surprisingly, Lois runs from the room crying. Then the next day, Lois surprises her family with a totally new look and attitude, dressing and acting like a twenty-something chippy. She gets hair extensions and even goes so far as to get a "tramp stamp" tattoo across the small of her back. In short, Lois is going through a full-blown midlife crisis. At first, Peter is pleased with this new version of Lois, but soon finds that he cannot keep up with her youthful lifestyle which leaves him almost constantly exhausted. Things finally come to a head when Lois goes out with a group of teens to a Justin Beiber concert and then manages to get backstage and into Beiber's dressing room where she tries to seduce the singer. Peter then breaks in on them and is enraged when Justin calls him an "old man" and beats the snot out of the little musical girly-boy (something I would've done without provocation). In the end, Peter admits he loves Lois for who she is and Lois comes to her senses and decides to act her age and all is well again (as such) in the Griffin household.
