On the one hand, given the gravity of the situation, this picture strikes me as borderline tasteless. I’d hate to be family or friends of the victim and run across it.
That stated, it’s well-conceived and decently-executed. I think it would probably be a little less distressing to some were it drawn as a cartoon, using generic characterizations of the savage and the victim.
And, on another note: Imagine the howls if someone were to use this as an idea for Halloween costumes next year...
I saw what you did there...
