A cartoon of two faces, but they are the same face. They’re both grumpy. They’re both bald with big ears, dark eyebrows, a big nose and a sour expression. Their mood has nothing to with their noses, eyebrows, or baldness. One of them has a blue bird landing on his head. No one, not even the bird knows why. Art by Doodleslice 2024.
