T.S. SULLIVANT

The great T.S. Sullivant (1854–1926) was hilarious from any angle.

For most artists it would be a challenge to draw a recognizable head from this odd angle:

Sullivant goes much further, distorting the head with a comical hodge podge of bizarre shapes.  Yet, it is still persuasive.

And look at how fearlessly Sullivant depicts this sleeping pig, or the chicken's butt in the air:

Here, the elephant has inadvertently hurt the feelings of the giraffe:
