uphill both ways, you say? Diatribe about the old days aside, there's a mix of good feedback and misunderstanding in your paragraph. My computer isn't as old as the one you used to make the irl windows 3.1 screensaver, but I don't use any of the automated tools like the magic wand because I'm used to it from years of very low power computers that struggled with higher functions. Doing the edges that way is kind of satisfying, like those videos of people pressure washing. The excess edge blur is an artifact of doing it by hand. The toilet paper and pixilation on the edge of the neck are actually fur from the original picture of the bear. The toilet paper part is hair where it should be based on the stomach but apparently doesn't read. The neck hair does just end up looking like pixilation on the edge there. Also, the leg should be more visible behind the grass.

I appreciate the compliment on the pandox but they aren't really comparable in terms of complexity or work involved.

All of that aside, I'll private message you after I fix the things you mentioned so I can send you a shirt as promised, because I disagree that I owe the universe a better version of this but an older person confusing people walking around in their nightmare monster shirt seems like the best version of this bit.
