Re-making a Gary Larson cartoon

Over the past few days I've been having a go at re-creating one of my favourite cartoons by Gary Larson out of plasticine. This is the original cartoon.


I started off by making the pig and snake, this was really difficult. As the top is so much heavier than the rest,  the entire thing kept collapsing. If you were to cut it apart now it would be full of bits of broken toothpicks (I didn't have any cocktail sticks). By the time I had finally finished, I had a go at editing the image into the original. It took me ages, and I'm not 100% happy with the result, but here is my attempt!


Unfortunately, the scale meant that I have missed off the bottom of the snake, and the head isn't anywhere near as big as the original, but I think on its own, it puts the point across.
