Meet Captain Pennywhistle, whose owners, Becky and David, discovered her talent for sculpture when they gave her an extra-large cracker for a treat. A couple of days later, they found the partially-eaten cracker in her cage.
“I think it looks exactly like a chipmunk!” says Becky. “We’re considering selling it on eBay.”
Wowza! What a cutie, and an artist to boot! <3
Adorable, but *I* think it looks like a squeerl! Do you DARE disagree with me?! lol
Ah the perils of being an Ar-Teest! So misunderstood… so tragic
so ham-pered by daily existance… I can do no more than bring beauty to ALL tha I ham surrounded by. My nuts my nest my seeded crackers.. these are the tools of my talent now

Is that a Dr. Kracker cracker?
I see abstract squirrel all the way. Maybe they could get the Captain’s work in a gallery?
It’s tewtally a West Highland terrier.
I think it is a seahorse. And a male one that is also pregnant.
What a gifted hammie!
“Hmmmmm. Mysterious, indeed.” — Dr. Shicklegruuber,

Now one questions remains: Chip or Dale??
Definitely a genuine Pennywhistle. The crackerlure confirms it.
how precious
I don’t see it? where’s the head? Is that a huge eye?
“Captain Pennywhistle” – I don’t know which is cuter – the name or the hammie itself????
Um.. the pre-eaten cracker acutally looks very nummy…
*was a hammy in a past life methinks?*
Uh, yeah…okay….
Breaking News: Newsweek says Shifting Eyes Can Boost Creativity
[shifty eyes]
I’m not kidding! Google it!
Brie – That’s the first thing I wondered too.
Mmmm… Dr Kracker.
My my… that is quite the adorable little artiste. Or maybe he’s a hammie psychiatrist and this is his Rorschach test.
Tell me, Doctor Captain Pennywhistle…. what does it mean that I see a scotty dog sleeping curled up?
The beady eyes leave me weak. *thud*
What kind of cracker is that? It looks extremely nutty and yummy.
I think it looks like China, but with a hole where the Taklimakan Desert should be.
MissKitty -
I saw a Scottie too!
yes, i was going to say what an artistic cracker too! gotta love the collective consciousness.
It started out as a representation of a chipmunk, but after eating 213 poppy seeds, the artist transitioned into a abstract concept symbolizing the plight of the workers that made this delicious medium possible.
I’ll just have to trust you on the cracker shape, and I DO trust you!
@gryt, Miss Kitty & others – TOTALLY a pooch of the terrier family. Given the floof of the tail, I would say gryt nailed it with “Westie”.
All I can say now is – Oh Captain my Captain!
@ copperbat:
“Like, WOW, man, that’s, like, a TO-tally awesome & phenomenal analysis!
You’re like, so DEEP, man!”
actually, I think it looks a bit like China!
*googles*
Make that a LOT like China. With a hole in it. Which seems to roughly correspond to Qinghai province.

Give this ham an “everything” bagel and call the Guggenheim. A new masterpiece is on its way!
Next thing you know, she’s moving to Williamsburg, wearing skinny jeans and getting an emo haircut.
If you poor fools would only turn it RIGHT SIDE UP, you’d see that it is a baby bird just making air between itself and the nest for the first time, using its itty bitty wings, and with it’s pumpkin seed heart swelling with pride.
*walks away grumbling “chipmonk . . . terrier . . . china! . . . squirrel . . . puh-lease’*
I think it kinda looks like Pepe LaPew (sp)? in midleap.
But no matter. Captain Pennywhistle is still an hamtist or an artster. Take yer pick.
Oh, and I forgot to say, the EYEZ in the second pic absolutely make me dizzy with happiness! He’s like, whadyawant?! I’m eatin’ here!
Um… I’m apparently not sophisti-cute enough to see anything besides a chewed on cracker. Or maybe the Russian hammer symbol… 8-/
“Yes, I believe I have safely pouched all the best seeds stuck to this peculiar edible wall. You may consume the remains, my good servants. I must away to store these in the treasury. They should compliment the banana chip sculptures nicely.”
Um… OK. A chipmunk huh? Sure, if that’s what people see. lol Cute.
mmm hammy spread on a cracker nomnomnomnom
@ helen #19: i thought the same thing!!!
i still can’t quite figure out how it looks like a chipmunk. i even did the whole cross eyed thing like for those brain teasers. =P
All I see is a chewed on cracker too.
Looks like a colon cleansing…ewwwww
But hamster/gerbil thingy is cute.
Zombie Scottish Terrier.
(insert confused smiley face here) Um, EXACTLY like a chipmunk? It doesn’t even look a little like a chipmunk. It’s doesn’t look like anything to me! oh noooooos, I’ve lost my imagination. I blame it on the internets.
I think I might like a hamster, one day.
You’re all wrong. It looks like Prince Edward Island

I love having a site that captures these little day-brighteners!
The cracker looks like Weenston, a bit. Captain Pennywhistle is so pretty, and an artist, to boot!
I’m not sure what the heck it looks like, but I agree with others that the pre-sculptured cracker looks really deleesh. I’d like to slap a piece of swiss on that bad boy.
“My name is Captain Pennywhistle, and I like to make Rorschach tests.”
“I’m Going To Eat You” tag?
[No way I'm gonna eat THAT. C'mon. - Ed.]
I agree with Helen that the cracker looks China. And let’s not forget that Chinese children learn that China looks like a rooster. So, the cracker looks like a rooster.
Agree with Caitlin, my first thought was that is China! Maybe with a big chunk of Inner Mongolia missing…
It looks more like a “Scotty Dog” to me.
Why, ED, ’cause it has hamster spit all over it?
It’s clearly a map of China!
I think it looks like ummmmmmmmmmmm – a chewed up cracker.
Woah! You know what that is? It’s a mythical Burmese bird known as a “Hintha,” or a golden duck that is sacred in Burma. Look at this photo from Burma of 2 Hinthas and tell me if I’m right:

It could be a miracle in Burma!
Its China, with Bangaldesh and Bhutan added on.
