When it comes to making a lasting impression, there’s no better way than to add a bunch of cats and lasers to your high school almanac portrait. Certainly a standout thought, it’s also quite activist leaving one student demanding for his own bit of uniqueness, nerve, and fur.

Draven Rodriguez is causing a stir at Schendectady High School in upstate New York for submitting a senior portrait with the classic ‘70s-inspired laser social class and his furry companion, Mr. Bigglesworth.

The portrait is beyond doubt a winner but knowing he might get pushback, Rodriguez started an online petition to gain support for his submission. “I’m a little out there and a little tongue-in-cheek,” Rodriguez tells The Day after day Gazette. “Cats and lasers . . . sarcastic. It’s so outlandish and ridiculous.”

Unfortunately, the school district is not entirely onboard. “That will not appear in the portrait section,” School district spokeswoman Karen Corona tells the paper. Whatever happens, Rodriguez won for best almanac portrait. Ever. At least in anticipation of the onslaught of copycats submit lasers portraits to yearbooks all across America.

Here’s the portrait sans lasers.
