Who made this brilliant Calvin and Hobbes/Bohemian Rhapsody fusion?

I’m familiar with Bill Watterson and Queen, of course; this has been making the rounds of Facebook, Imgur, and Tumblr since autumn 2023, but I’ve been unable to find a version that credits the fanartist who so cleverly fused the two—the lettering alone, including “Bismillah” in the original Arabic and the sudden gigantic red scare text of “BEELZEBUB”, is worthy of Joe Sabino. And the time frame is right: children in Calvin’s generational bracket would know this song as a favorite of their parents.)

(And, should Calvin’s dad actually happen to agree with his son’s grievance about school, you know he’d absolutely pull something like this.)

(Disclaimer: I not only welcome but invite clarification from actual Muslims on the following.)

I’m given to understand that you’re also supposed to say “Bismillah” when you sic a Saluki (the one specifically halal dog breed) on a prey animal; this authorizes the dog as a tool of halal slaughter - as long as they bring you the rabbit/gazelle/whatever without themself partaking, meaning that they were hunting on your behalf rather than their own.

I don't think you could call it Kosher - actually, saying Bismilla makes it explicitly NOT kosher, because something having been sacrificed to a different God specifically disqualifies it.

I pity the poor hunting dogs, never getting to taste the creature they laboriously chased down.

I presume you can share with the dog once you’ve processed the prey? Again, I don’t pretend to speak from a standpoint of cultural familiarity.
