This image is composed of two side-by-side photographs. On the left, there's a real, live black dog leaning around the corner of a red brick wall. The dog's head and ears are visible, and humorously, the position of its head aligns perfectly with a pair of human legs – clad in black tights and pink sneakers – sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall.
On the right side of the image is a drawing or representation of an ancient Egyptian deity, Anubis. Anubis is traditionally depicted with the body of a human and the head of a jackal. In this particular image, Anubis is colored vibrantly with traditional Egyptian hues of blue, red, and gold and is seen holding a staff, a symbol of power.
The humor in this image arises from the visual pun created by the juxtaposition of the dog's head and the human's legs on the left picture. It creates the amusing illusion of the dog having a human body, reminiscent of mythological or fictional creatures, such as centaurs or mermaids – or more fittingly in this context, Anubis himself.
Furthermore, viewers might find it comical due to the unintentional mimicry; it's as if the dog unknowingly transformed into a modern embodiment of Anubis. Placed side by side, the dog's innocent and casual lean around the corner is humorously elevated to a stance of mythical proportions.
The image also plays on the surprise element that catches the viewer off-guard. At first glance, the brain might register the scene on the left as a person lounging casually, but a double-take reveals the incongruous and hilarious truth that it's actually a dog 'attached' to human legs.
Lastly, the photo is an example of how perfectly timed photography can capture unexpected and funny moments that blend reality with fantasy, resulting in a scene which can provide joy, amusement, and a momentary escape from the ordinary through lighthearted visual trickery. Emefe
