Extension of a Barney Stinson HIMYMism

So recently, my friend 'Kraal En Mu'* has been going through some rough emotional stuff (think along the lines of 'my annoying little brother put my favourite pet turtle into the microwave'. although I shan't reveal if that's what actually maybe might likely have happened. moving on...).

A rather famous and oft-quoted expression from an episode of How I Met Your Mother is Barney Stinson's uplifting quote:

“When I get sad, I stop being sad and be Awesome Instead. True Story.”

So; my friend has been feeling pretty bummed out, and while I tried in vain to relate this message of Awesomeness to them, I mulled it over, and thought that there must have been a better, clearer and more concise way to project it. Maybe in a sock-puppet, Lite-Brite, or otherwise visual form?

In a bold move (bold in such that, I will likely never get physically around to it, but I'd like to at least put this idea out there, you know? just cuz? anyways...), I thought, 'why not a POSTER!'

A-ha!

And of course, it had to be original and new and unique-- no offense, of course, to the brilliant minds behind HIMYM's poster featuring Awesome fighter jets. Big Ups to that. Here is my idea thus far (if you're reading this, a drumroll is mandatory):

i) A 2-panel comic-esque poster
ii) First panel: there's a cat, hanging ever-so precariously off a tree branch that's about to snap under the cat's weight, and the cat is damn scared shitless; how in the world do you not feel Sad for this cat?
iii) Second panel: there's the same cat, and you see him falling off from the now-snapped tree branch, into a......(Wait For It).....PILE OF TUNA FISH BELOW, because you know, cats love tuna fish; how could any sane person in the world not feel Awesome for this cat?
iv) Conclusion: Sad transforms seamlessly into Awesome
