    They just look so content at being idle. Rest can be a good thing sometimes and this illustration is funny, cute, and informative.

    Have a great day.

    You should know that my word verification was "trickses"... maybe because the bird was playing a tick on the bat?

    Ah, good to see you back on IF Eric! Super characters as usual! We're having a spot of bother with bats here at the moment! They're hanging around the terrace and making a huge mess!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Eric BarclayJuly 30, 2009 at 6:01 AM

    Thanks Caroline: I'm guessing the bats you get are a LOT bigger than the ones we have. Ours are about the size of a chicken McNugget with wings.
