Grumpy bunny feels he's being forcibly included in the wrong season by being made to hang on a tree with needles that will poke him in the back.

Made and for sale by Spidercamp on etsy. I also really like these stickers she has for sale. Perfect warning label for those grumpy days.

Santa's elf is getting frustrated by the toy assembly instructions. Insert tab A into slot B, but where is tab A? And what about this weird extra piece that doesn't fit anywhere?

AaRrHh!

The Blobfish! The grumpiest blob in the ocean. He reminds me of the Groke from the Moomin stories, on a particularly gelatinous day.

"What wonder, then, that the world goes from bad to worse, and that its evils increase more and more, as boredom increases, and boredom is the root of all evil. The history of this can be traced from the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored, and so they created man. Adam was bored because he was alone, and so Eve was created. Thus boredom entered the world. And increased in proportion to the increase of population. Adam was bored alone; then Adam and Eve were bored together; then Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel were bored en famille; then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse. To divert themselves they conceived the idea of constructing a tower high enough to reach the heavens. This idea is itself as boring as the tower was high, and constitutes a terrible proof of how boredom gained the upper hand. The nations were scattered over the earth, just as people now travel abroad, but they continued to be bored."

Kierkegaard, Either/Or

Ain't that something?

Warning: this version contains lots of swearing. And one of the happiest grumpy tunes I've come across.

This version still has the sweet tune and the attitude, but the language is radio-safe:

Be Prepared for Rage

Once By The Pacific

The shattered water made a misty din,

Great waves looked over others coming in,

And thought of doing something to the shore

That water never did to land before.

The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,

Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.

You could not tell, and yet it looked as if

The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,

The cliff in being backed by continent;

It looked as if a night of dark intent

Was coming, and not only a night, an age.

Someone had better be prepared for rage.

There would be more than ocean-water broken

Before God's last Put out the Light was spoken.

~Robert Frost

I want to be evil

Where's your gumption?

This is Colin the Grumpy Carp. Here's kid's story that goes along with the illustration of how he got his grump.

This is all I want to eat right now. Angry food that will destroy all in awesomeness.

This is as much disdain as I have energy for.

O Daniel-san, you disappoint me. Paint another six fences before breakfast and we shall see what you have learned.

He was grumpy, and then you disappointed him. How could you? Look at the tears in his big brown eyes.

*glare* mnh.

Don't even think about pulling his soft fuzzy curl of a tail. He's giving you the eyeball. He means business.

"'If you think we're wax-works,' he said, 'you ought to pay, you know. Wax-works weren't made to be looked at for nothing. Nohow.'

'Contrariwise,' added the one marked "DEE", 'if you think we're alive, you ought to speak.'"
