Draven Rodriguez told The Daily Gazette yesterday that he wanted something different for his yearbook photo — something his friends will always remember. So he picked his photo — with lasers! — with his cat, Mr. Bigglesworth.
“Cats and lasers . . . sarcastic. It’s so outlandish and ridiculous,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez has created an online petition — a “pre-empetive strike” he calls it — garnering support for the portrait.
A school spokeswoman told the Gazette that the photo will in fact be allowed in the yearbook, but not in the senior portrait section.
“It doesn’t mean the photo won’t be in the yearbook. It just means it won’t be in the section where the more professional photos are,” the spokeswoman said.
“I can work with that,” Rodriguez said of the school’s decision.
