Partick Thistle Mascot Kingsley Immediately Becomes an Internet Sensation

There are almost no words to describe the new mascot revealed by Scottish football team Partick Thistle. Fortunately, that's where Twitter comes in.
The SPL club confirmed that Kingsley, designed by artist David Shrigley, would be the club's new mascot next season.
According to the club's statement, it comes as part of a wider investment in the club:
Shrigley has maintained his involvement and has designed a unique Kingsford logo which will adorn the front of Thistle’s shirts and be featured prominently around the stadium. In addition, a new Shrigley-designed mascot, named Kingsley, will be in attendance on match days.
Presumably, they weren't quite expecting this reaction to the new mascot:

And the saddest part of it all? The last mascot, Jaggy MacBee, is now out of work.
