Not quite a man, not quite a rhino, not quite a hog. He’d be kinda cute if he wasn’t an awful person.
I haven’t tried drawing clothing since I was a kid so I’d say I did fine with his shirt.

The three sketches, alas, there’s less chest hair each pic.

So it’s been over 30 years, but every time I go to say, “when I was a kid,” or, “when I was younger,” what ACTUALLY runs through my mind to say in that instance is instead, “🎶when I was a young wartHOG🎶”.

I have to fight myself every time not to come across as a musical farting warthog.
