  1. Your work seems to me fantastic is so retro… to sees is seems to me vector (I have a very small screen) but soon pays attention well and is even more astonished. You do not speak Spanish, truth? Saúdos and apertas.

  3. I LOVE MR. SHACKLETON! He is so dapper and I can understand his concern with his chauffeur following the speed limit. I'm sure he's much too busy to be detained by the police! Hahaha!

    Great illustration as per usual!

  19. Eric - these characters are great! I could see them populating a whole community. Are they English? They seem like they should definately have accents.

  23. this is why you should never hire a walrus as a chauffeur, stick with seals, although they're always honking the horn, can't win.

  37. BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh my goodness, I just love this little guy. Driving Mr. Shackleton! Maybe it would help if Mr. Hudson would open his eyes while driving. You are such a hoot, and so AWESOME!

  38. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention!

    I LOVED that fox video! How great is that. PILEDRIVE Hahahahahhaha! Oh, yes, yes, yes. If you go to the fox store, please pick one up for me, too.

    Actually, I read about this man in China who raised this dog from a pup. But as this pup grew, he started to stink, no matter how often the man bathed him. Turned out, it was a wild fennec fox.

    So on second though, no fox for me. Have a great weekend!
