Field notes
Started as a Twitter exchange between two artists syncing a table-slap animation to the Super Mario World overworld theme. Within weeks it was playing drums, piano, and guitar solos for half the internet. Its whole rhythm section is paws.
At the printer
Print the paws separately and let them hover just above the table. Gluing them flush kills the joke.
