That’s a Doric column and this alpaca is a big doric. Look at that bandana or scarf or whatever.
What a doric…

Why did ~20 year old me save this to my hard disk ~10 years ago? If there's a joke idgi anymore.
(sh.itjust.works)
Is it a visual pun???
The column is Ionic, but don't let that detract from the joke!
Doric is straight, Ionic has scrolls, Corinthian is with frills and leafs.
I suppose you think 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife is Ionic too…
Isn't it Ionic?
Who'd have thought that an Archaeology dad-joke would be the thing to make me snort-laugh today.
Well done. And thanks.
Don't you think?
The critter thinks of itself as a statue that should be in a museum.
As for what is funny about it, I have no idea.
The answer to any internet-related question from that era is "because you touch yourself at night".
You were probably just really into Fortnite back then.
I couldn't believe it'd been out for ten years, so I checked. It's been out for ~10 years, but not 10 years, originally releasing mid 2017
Even the early access for the original mode?
F Save The World (paid early access) was July 2017. FN Battle Royale was September 2017. And, for reference, PUBG launched the beta in March 2017, full release Dec 2017
Christ. It feels like those games were so long ago.
Never played actually.
I'll see your why, and raise.
Oh wow I know this movie but can’t remember the name! Saw it at a film festival once.
Looks like it's from Meatball Machine (2005)
Yes that was it!
I've had this picture saved for at least 15 years.
mystery solved!
Wow, this image is not showing up on any reverse image searches.
Would say we can track down the artist, but think you might have drawn this yourself OP.
idk why you saved it, but I have now saved it because it's cute.
Fine, Corinthian llama?
Lamarck philosophy, maybe?
Llama + rock + thinking of a pillar typically used with philosophy.
He is trying to mimic the curl of the column with his leg; he thinks of himself as a work of art, which is a statement about the nature of art. Anyway, I don't know why you saved this.
