Fascinating. I think this may be a photoshopped image though. That fox art was made by an artist named "stewy", but I have not seen a picture of it on this short wall.

How do I know this? Because I adapted my own profile picture here from the original source years ago, long before 2018.

It's sad to see that Matthew here does not seem to be crediting the original creator of the art in their article. I expect if this is real, the artists signature should be right there behind that grass, or was otherwise removed.

Okay but what did they say?

"gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding." were it's first words.

Finally someone who gets me.
