    i love this one.

    i was thinking about this image today. though i really like the knife, i thought a spoon would be even crueler.

    a wooden spoon to make things worse :)

    if you still have the source files, can you make one with a wooden spoon?

      Thank you! I really like the original because of that thousand yard stare. Like you need a second take before you realize it’s better not to pet it.

      I made a remix of the original and replaced knife with wooden spoon:

      With every attempt that squirrel became more and more unhinged :)
