      I would say basically the same, though also sometimes its closer to befuddled, but also sometimes amused.

      I landed on this piece of art because I think the cubist style applied most prominently to the primary figure conveys that… the face is abstract, and basically at least myself as the viewer can see multiple different expressions basically depending on how you squint.

      The crook, the implement of imposition of order… its there. But it isn’t actually being employed. Is it needed? … maybe?

      But the cats are all just there, being fine, doin’ their thing. And they’re less ‘odd’ looking, less heavily stylized. The main figure is the stand out, the odd one.

      The juxtaposition is thus somewhat absurd, but not overwhelmingly so. Everyone is ultimately just lollygagging, standing around.

      If I could actually tweak the image, I’d want to make the primary figure less primary, less large. I’d found another image that was… apparently just a real picture of a pretty average dude just sitting down, calm, looking contemplatively off into the distance, in a field of many other real cats, similarly all just doing their thing, less prominent size difference.

      But this image is basically funnier, lol.

      Err, excuse me, not lol, :3

        The picture a reference to the idiom “herding cats” (which is why the guy is holding a shepherd’s crook), not just a guy standing around in the presence of a bunch of cats. I assume you just didn’t realize that, and weren’t trying to convey a futile attempt to control the trans people.

          The way I see it is basically -> I thought I might need the crook, but it appears I don’t, and thus I’m the idiot standing around with a crook for no reason.

          So thus it conveys yes, a bit of my own latent foolishness, but it also displays that that is foolishness.
