Madness

Man in top hat on his knees, grabbing his head with both hands, perplexed stare into the distance or inside himself. This is near identical to bf5man's https://openclipart.org/detail/203515/puzzled-man-in-a-top-hat however I ran the source material (Punch Magazine 1853 page 154 https://archive.org/details/punch24a25lemouoft/page/154/mode/2up ) through some AI upscaling service and then traced it in Illustrator. Then I cleaned it up in Inkscape and tried giving the areas which I consider part of the body/clothes a white background. I did not disconnect the shadow from the body and left his left shoe as part of the shadow to be fused with whatever background this is used with. I removed a lot more of the elements around the man, to make this match the Nerd Poker Toilet Rat Tee I found at https://nerdpokerpod.com/collections/frontpage/products/toilet-rat-unisex-t-shirt - in fact reverse image searching the design is how I found bf5man's trace here at all.
His right eye was hand adjusted and his left eye added by hand to put an accent on his emotional turmoil.
