Warning About Deconstructing Digital Cartoon

For some of us, deconstructing was traumatic. 
For some, it happened quickly, like amputating a limb with an axe.
For others, it happened slowly, like amputating a limb with a spoon.

In either case, it was amputating a limb. And it hurt. We might not have proceeded if we'd known. But I think I still would have.
You?
