Several of the shadows look "off." I'm not seeing an eagle-shaped shadow, just the shadow of the headstone. And there is a sort of pixel halo around it. It does look a little Shoppy, yeah. But it's a lovely image and if it makes people happy, that's all good.
I'm gonna guess it's not "they're stealin' our bricks!" as much as it is plain old vandalism. A lot of St. Louis is pretty rough and thuggy these days.
There was no such thing as "snack time" when I was a little kid in the 70s, and parents didn't use food to hush a fussy toddler. Nor were there that many mass-marketed junk food option as there are today.
Everywhere you look, stores are pushing "fits in your SUV cupholder" snack cups filled with tiny bitesized crap, aimed at parents who think "if they're shoving food in their mouths, at least they're not screaming."

What genius thought that idea would work? I live in the country (in Texas) and we have no need for a human "dead animal removal squad." The buzzards will eliminate all traces of a deer within three days. Circle of Life and all that.
Still, good for them. The world could use more talented artists getting their work out there.
