Typical American: The Animals

This group of images is where animals are the main subjects, sometimes dressed up like a human, or as an important part of that image narrative. Some are terrifying, like the gigantic chicken towering over a helpless human subject, some are hilarious, like a chicken dressed up like a farmer with multiple cans of what looks like a weird amalgamation of a Coca-Cola can. This type of generation is relatively rare in the Typical American project, but they always stand out when they do appear.
