The icon is a product of Kingdom of Loathing (http://www.kingdomofloathing.com), a terribly clever - and highly addictive - free stick figure RPG. It's free, but if you donate you can get different nifty things in the game, and one of the things you can buy is the chance to design an avatar (basically you just choose the elements that will go into it) that will then be drawn for you by the game's artist/creator.
If you enjoy RPGs at all, you should give it a look. It's fun fun stuff.
I love OotS, too. Haley is my favoritest. And yeah, KoL is pretty darned amusing. There are lots of really funny cultural references thrown about. You can tell the creator is a huge fan of They Might Be Giants, as there are all sorts of random references to their songs.
Wow, I dunno if I will ever play that game, but the descriptions crack me up. My favourite so far is "The Dirt-Walled Hovel of The Pretentious Artist." The "Crackpot Mystic's Shed" is pretty darned loco, too.
