[nonsensology]

This was supposed to just be a rough sketch, but then I started getting really invested in it.

I hadn't initially intended to include so many picture book characters, but the nostalgia was overwhelming. Does anyone remember the animated short films produced by Weston Woods? My local library used to have a bunch of them on the Scholastic VHS tapes from the late 90s. (I know some shorts were released on the Children's Circle VHS tapes back in the 80s (🎶 Come on along! Come on along! Join the caravan!), and some were packaged in Sammy's Story Shop in 2008.)

A silly drawing idea I thought of reading your posts -- Arthur the muskrat dressed as Arthur the cowboy ^_^

I love you

Guess which image took ten times longer to make than the other one. Embarrassing

(I hope I’m doing this right.))

I know there is one on the show already but I heavily think Arthur might be autistic. Coming from someone who’s autistic, I relate heavily with him. So it’s a possibility he maybe autistic too.

That definitely tracks. I feel like a lot of the characters in that show are autistic honestly. -Mod Dragon

So I was binge watching Drawfee while I drew and I came upon the ice cream bar episode, and they brought up how Arthur only vaguely resembles an actual aardvark, and then I started thinking of that one episode with the spelling bee where Art came up with a song to memorize how to spell the word “aardvark”. Then I started wondering how he, at the age of 8-9, couldn’t spell the name of his own species…and then I remembered the finale where it’s implied everyone’s just drawn as an animal as a stylistic choice, meaning he thought back to that one incident and created his entire family’s character design based on that one inside joke.

You know what, iconic of them honestly

I would have added Bud and DW but the nice thing about them is that they're both ass-kickers
