This is nuts -- but sadly dancing Bender is not too practical. (Unless the dancing trend catches on and GitHub releases the dancing Octocat to production...)
For more practical CSS madness, I'd recommend Ana Tudor's creations[1]. She had a cool talk at CSSConf.eu about the math behind building some of her CSS creations.[2]
I've seen her work posted around before, and always found myself really impressed. Thanks for the link to that video, I think it may have sparked an interest in geometry for me.
And I disagree about the practicality of a dancing bender. It's a tech demo if nothing else. I can picture a future where things like this are much easier to accomplish in CSS and we move on from using traditional images.
Yeah, I don't want to be critical -- just wanted to point to some other lower-level shapes that might be easier for others to learn from and build upon. 100% believe we need more dancing characters, not less.
