The world’s saddest doodle got an update to save our breaking hearts
Even before Brexit, Trump and the spiralling cost of Freddos, artist Ben Cameron had discovered a particular talent for hitting us right where it hurts, as these doodles show.
All of which are featured in his book, appropriately entitled Tragidoodles.
However, the picture that would come to be described as “the world’s saddest doodle” was shared in this tweet.
This seems to be breaking people's hearts.. pic.twitter.com/6OLADrmA

For six years, that picture has been stuck in our heads, haunting our dreams and breaking our hearts, but out of the goodness of his heart, Ben has turned it around.

And all it took was rewriting prehistory. Simples.
