No pleasure without pain, no light without darkness.

This piece was considered 'inappropriate' by my teacher. A censored version replacing the scissors (weapons of murder) and the cancer stick (getting Trainspotty) with candles and a Chupa-Chup respectively is what will be submitted to the exam board. That's right: I got 4Kids'd in the year of our Lord 2025. Here's the original in all its gratuitous glory. 
-
Large tailless cat gets cut in half with scissors. It's missing two paws. Its right 'foot' is wearing a trainer with the roman numerals II on the side and the Russian 'два' on the tongue. Said trainer has two knots in the shoelaces instead of one. Bubbles full of cat offspring emerge from the ears. The Yellow Bird (that's its full name) uses a candle in the cat's fur to light a gasper. It has a halo round its head. It holds onto the cat's fur, one foot stepping on its left leg, the other clutching the arm holding the aforementioned scissors. The cat licks its wounds.

A smaller cat on a swing takes Polaroids of what is unfolding, which glide toward the viewer, capturing The Yellow Bird and a candle on the cat's head. A corrupt form of The Cat In The Hat stands and points. A small quail attempts to escape the stream of red wax flowing from the cat.

Considered 'inappropriate' by my art teacher, who asked me to change some details. Cigarette becomes Chupa-Chup, scissors become candles. 4Kids entertainment's spirit goes on.

Thanks. This was a response piece for a section of my project dedicated to Dr Seuss, so I'm glad it's easily readable.
