The happy seagull was copied from a figure that appeared in the Danish cartoon film Samson and Sally, 1984. Whap Gang clipped a photo from the film that hung in a showcase at Cinema 1 - 8.
Graffiti writers love to copy drawn figures from films, comic strips and ads. It's rare, however, to see such a concrete example of cultural appropriation.
