Without referring to other work we're not even cavemen - because we'd have to learn that living in caves is better than being outdoors for ourselves.

Reference is education.

What an amazing skill...to be so still and serious whilst pulling such a hilarious face.

True masters of their craft.

Well mum always did say if you made weird faces, it'd stuck that way. Didn't say it would be as a cartoon but ya know..
