Illustration project: effort #1
Here is an illustration I drew Saturday morning





It is a cat pushing a shopping cart. The cat should look a little more like pushing and less like pawing. Also, he should be a little jauntier. I'm not sure how to make things jaunty. The shopping cart needs a George Foreman grill. (i drew one in a second version I drew of this on the subway yesterday, but the cat is even worse in that one).

I forgot to wear a belt today. Weird. I may go buy one at lunch since my main belt has gotten too big, somehow.

No, the cat is perfect. Do not dream of changing this cat. Maybe add a couple lines around the cat to indicate motion.

If you need to add anything at all, you need to add a sign to the front of the cart reading "BUBBLES DEPO," or perhaps because it is a cat, "MITTENS DEPO" or similar.

wow, you feel strongly about the cat! Surprising! Apparently I do not know what is good, at all!

It doesn't get going really until the fifth or so episode, just so you know!

I want to know what he uses the bat for. My guess is to enforce the code of the streets.

they don't have a home plate, either. They use a hubcap.

I bet he plays first base. I mean, the last pussy I heard about from New York played first base.

Agreed. An ideal cat. You want jaunty? Put a fancy hat in the cart.

at one point I had considered putting a hat on the cat. I am glad cooler heads prevailed (hah).

Yeah, the cat just looks like, "What, this is what I do every day. Pushin' a cart. Lookin' for food."
