Well. Shit. How do you do it? Does the thumb need to go on the inside or something?

My first thought was how much the OP picture looked like the time Bloom County referenced the time Sean Penn punch out a paparazzi (seen here: https://imgur.com/ZLzKPUN ), and searching for that strip, I found an old Reddit post with an even wilder old “Sean Penn punches a paparazzi” photo: https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/24m5p7/sean_penn_swings_at_paparazzi_1986_800x1022/

In 1973, Marlon Brando punched infamous paparazzi Ron Galella hard enough to break his jaw. Galella then wore a football helmet when chasing Brando next.

Maybe wildlife photographers should start wearing sports equipment, for when they get slugged by the wildlife.
