This image is a humorous meme consisting of two side-by-side pictures with the caption: "Another actor's life destroyed by drugs and alcohol." Left side: A picture of Gonzo the Great, a beloved blue Muppet character from The Muppet Show, wearing a red tuxedo and bow tie, looking cheerful and well-groomed. Right side: A very different character who looks like a grungy, mutated version of Gonzo — with similar long nose features but more exaggerated, monstrous traits. This version has yellow eyes, tusks, a scruffy beard, and is wearing a hat and dark clothing, looking gritty and weathered. The joke plays on the idea that the second creature is a “washed-up” version of Gonzo, as if he went down a bad path — even though it’s clearly a completely different character with similar facial features, probably generated or taken from a fantasy or sci-fi art piece. It's a play on the “before and after drugs” meme format for comedic effect.
