I just like ladders bugs, OK! Stop judging me!

It's not a ladder, it's a stepladder!

it's not a step ladder. it's just a ladder who stepped up.

So? What's the difference? You need to stop judging things based on narrow-minded cultural assumptions, Nick!

My dad says I'm like this about communism. Maybe, but I'm really like this about teddy bears. I always need a hug, and bears give the best bear hugs!

This is my best friend, Comrade Cuddles, and my other plush pandas. They give good hugs, even if they are Maoist cranks.

The JPEG artifacts bothered me (they're even present in the original, unfortunately), so I restored it to its deserved 7-color indexed PNG glory (which has the added bonus of reducing the filesize by ~90% from 42602 bytes to 4733 bytes!):

Since the original is pretty small (489x460) for modern high resolution displays, I also made a version that's might be more conducive to sharing by scaling it up by 2x using nearest-neighbor interpolation—it's literally just the original but with 2x2 pixels and so the original can be recovered losslessly by reversing the process:

Due to the nature of integer scaling pixel art and PNG compression, even though it's 4x the pixels the filesize only increases by ~25%.

For the record, I used ImageMagick to scale like so:

magick input.png -interpolate Integer -filter point -resize 200% output.png

As long as the argument for -resize is a multiple of 100, you'll get a pixel-perfect output. I have a little bash function to handle it:

function pixelscale {
    magick "$1" -interpolate Integer -filter point -resize ${2}00% "${1%.*}_${2}x.${1##*.}"
}

so as long as that gets loaded by your .bashrc all you have to do is type

pixelscale <infile> <integer scale factor>

and it'll handle the rest (e.g. pixelscale image.png 3 will spit out image_3x.png which is nearest-neighbor scaled by 3x).

edit: missed a few errant pixels...fixed.

maybe it's a hodor situation. possibly sexier.

it ain't the ladder it's the MEANING of the ladder.
