Slater completes his tribute with a small dedication, thanking Wilder for "broadening our imaginations as kids", and saying his mother used to call him Willy. It is ... a strange tribute to say the least.
The image prompted a mixed reception, with some appreciating Slater's larrikinism. Others saw the post as disrespectful to the memory of Wilder.
Slater did end up commenting on the photo later in the day to say he did not mean any disrespect.
