Is that a self portrait Comeds?
No, its from a comic book called The Boys (for mature audiences only). The image just makes me laugh.
A little back story on the image. When the comic writers were coming up with the characters at the beginning of their series a few years ago one of them thought of making one look like an actor he liked on a little known English series called Spaced. No one would probably ever see the actor again so what would be the harm.
Then a little movie called 'Shaun Of The Dead' came out and suddenly a lot of people knew what Simon Pegg looked like. A lot of people started calling Pegg and telling him there was a Scottish character in a comic who looked just like him and asking if he approved it. He said no, read a few of the books, liked them and told the writers he was fine with it. He even wrote a forward for one of their collection paperbacks.
Sorry for rambling, I just think its a pretty funny story.
