Accidentally fired

At the bar, a hedgehog drains a beer mug under the watchful eye of a bird in a waistcoat. A glimpse of an email reading “WHO’S YOUR DADDY!” and a notice confirming 10,412 recipients sets a small, weary exchange against a very public mistake.

Tactile, felt-like characters with expressive eyes and brows inhabit a warmly lit, wood-panelled bar. Muted browns, charcoal grey and amber tones frame the scene, with tight facial close-ups and a stark red email notification providing contrast.

Dry, awkward humour with a weary barroom mood. The contrast between subdued expressions and the scale of the email mishap gives the scene its comic tension.
