This little mouse finished her morning snorkel just in time! The rain is rolling in, so she’d better don some appropriate footwear.

I think this mouse fell asleep listening to Nina Simone records. But, perhaps I am wrong. What do you think she’s listening to?

You know what they say: Keep your friends close and your anemonies closer!

As a wise cat once told me, “If at first you don’t succeed, change the rules of success.”

As a child, I couldn’t have a cat or dog, so all of my love went towards my pet chickens. We spent so much time together!🥰

The little girl in this illustration is perhaps too excited about finding her Easter egg to be mindful of her chickens, but, I don’t think they really care too much. Except maybe the hen in the bottom right, who just. can’t. with this holiday. 🥹🙃

This fluffy cat does not understand why we need to celebrate anything.

And even if we did need to celebrate, couldn’t we have done so in an email?

He does not want cake. He does not want his party hat. He wants to go back into his cold bathtub of loneliness.

Rolf the pogo sticking hippo believes himself to be one of the most impressive pogo stickers in the world.

He can jump very high. He can twirl very twirly. He’s pogot the pogoing juice.

This one is in honor of fountain pen people, who have “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog” burned into the backs of their eyelids. It is also in honor of my dog Saoirse (who is part mastiff and St. Bernard), who would definitely prefer to take her walks without actually walking.🥹

Here the lazy dog has found a way to jump over the quick brown fox! You can be lazy and still love adventure and excitement.

A man in a yellow jacket enjoys his cheeseburger. He is thinking about all the things he has to do later today.

His dog, Peggy, has clearly already had a few cheeseburgers too many. Yet, she would not mind one more, anyway. Or maybe just a bite?

Drive through the Pennsylvania farmlands, and you’ll see lots of hay bales, resting on the land, like sleeping land animals. It’s especially so at night, under a clear moonlit sky. They would be gentle, large mammals, were they alive.

T-shirt design for a company with themed Caribbean Island merchandise.

Here, an island food truck has been taken over by the local chickens. The hours represent the laid-back island flexibility, and the clocks show that it’s five o’clock, everywhere, and always.

The food truck’s name, The Caribbean Cuckoo, plays with the fact that it’s a chicken truck, and that the chickens are, well, not all there.

The world has been taken over by robots. Good thing there are plentiful cardboard boxes around to use as a disguise.

Mindy Lou is riding into the city with the robot workforce to learn what is going on at the main factory.

This little robin took on a project that they thought was too large– baking a pie from all the holly berries ripening on the big holly tree!

But now they are glad they tried, because it feels so good to have finished it. It smells fantastic, too. They can’t wait to eat this berry pie with their family and friends for a winter holiday dinner.

A fluffy gray cat is seeking out a new perspective.
