Illustration Friday ~ Adapt


As a result of the current economic forecast and lack of job security caused by an unusual case of narcolepsy, Little Boy Blue has been forced to rethink his job description. His decision to pursue his lifelong dream of performance has resulted in fewer corn raids caused by wandering cows and sheep.

Addendum: Due to overwhelming success with his new band, The Baby Boy Blues and their new single "That Bad Mother Hubbard" the position of Lead Herder is once again available.

Little Boy Blue is setting a good example for the rest of us. I think his current audience has adapted well to the lure of the Blues. Is that cow drinking a
MOO-hito?

Love the animals with sunglasses and drinks! So funny. I also like that little boy blue has a patterned outfit. (but with the long hair I thought this was going a different direction until I read the text.)
