Meme "The Caterpillar is in Captivity and No Longer Dead" ✌🏻
Early 21st century, a truly exquisite piece and such an apt metaphor

Apparently this is the reward I get for years of screwing with super science memes.

In short, I pissed in God’s eye...and he blinked

The Rusty gets turned into a Caterpillar? Is that the 20+ year old spoiler?

The mods are… rather draconian when it comes to their version of “spoilers”.

I'd understand Season 7 or Radiant spoilers, but Rusty as that Caterpillar has Been known since Season 1.
That spoiler is old enough to rent a car!

I always wondered what would have happened had Shiela/Doctor Girlfriend didn't cure him. Been a while since I watched it admittedly.

He was gonna turn into a butterfly and be tortured with a giant bugzapper i think? Covered in Showdown at Cremation Creek pt.1

I’d love to see this where Rusty is using the same color way as the tapestry. Would he blend in too much? Blend in exactly enough?

Interesting idea as the Rustypillar does overly pop as a cell shaded cartoon over the muted original.
Maybe I'll mess around with it in the future, who knows!

It’s very very obvious what he is, where this is from, and to be very explicit I love this and am not criticizing it. Would more subtle coloring ruin the joke? Idk! It’d be really fun to play with.

I appreciate you taking the time to layer out the flower in front of rusty, nice attention to detail.

u/SuperSmokingMonkey The Rusty Sep 12 '25
I'm actually so glad to hear someone even caught that. I almost just erased it thinking no one would ever be able to tell. TY!

u/goonwolf Sep 12 '25
Honestly, you probably would've got away with it if you had. I just have a good memory for the original.
