April 30th Google Doodle

While working on a class project to make a fictional Google Doodle for April 30th, research led me to the announcement of the discovery of the electron by the British physicist J.J. Thomson on this date.

Inspired by other doodles that contained characters with unique, fun expressions as well as doodles that often had interesting conclusions to one of the letters (here, here, here, here, and here), I decided to make something that would fit that line of thought.
