      (I could not give you a point for original character as this is clearly Conker having a bad fur day)

        Aw, darn it. I completely forgot about that one :) Next time I’ll use a tamarin or something else.

      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 :)
