Shaun versus Animals

Although there is no official postmark or notary public to confirm this, I can assure you that this piece of original Crayon Art, and concept in general, were conceived before this blog's creators caught the Hunger Games fever.  That is not to say that the riveting series had no part in inspiring us to finally post this.  That would be a lie. 

"Shaun versus Animals" is intended to be a recurring post in which we address an age old question:  what animals could Shaun take on in a "fight to the death" situation?  20 geese?  6 woodchucks?  1 emu?

Today's match:
The breakdown:

Shaun:  "Although my firearms are useless in this situation, I have one clear advantage - bee dies after they sting.  I'd remove that classy purple sweater and use it to protect my million dollar face.  Let the bees work my midsection.  Judging by the size of the hive, I think I can withstand enough stings that the bees will eventually just die off.  Remember, these are bees, not Tracker Jackers.  Though swollen up and red like Mario Batali, I will emerge victorious, and live to fight more of nature's majestic creatures. 
Winner:  Shaun.

Colleen:  "Thinking he finally had finally stumbled into the perfect opportunity to put his sharp-shooter training into practice, Shaun assumed he would easily be able to pick off the majority of the suddenly swarming, obviously angry bees.  He managed to snipe a few of the insects, but it became quickly clear that he would have to employ another strategy if he wanted to make it out alive.  With each sting, Shaun grew more inflamed and more disheartened.  In a last grasp for survival, Shaun pushed aside the grim visions of My Girl reeling through his brain and remembered a nearby pond.  If he could just outrun the beasts and make it to the safety of the water, he knew could outlast the swarm.  Swollen, half-mad from the stings, and growing increasingly frantic, he took off for the water.  Not that easily outsmarted, the bees followed closely behind, buzzing at his heels.  Upon reaching the banks Shaun jumped into the water, elated.  He made it!  Lesser men might have become trapped in their panic, they could have been frozen with fear and succumbed to a swollen, mangled death.  Not Shaun.  Not today.  Though his face might never fully recover, Shaun will live to see another day."
Winner:  Shaun.
 
Unanimous victor: Shaun!

Shaun 1.  Animals 0.
