Waiting patiently for the right moment the little green balloon saw his window of opportunity, and he took it!
It feels great to finally play along with Illustration Friday again, although this wasn’t my first idea for balloon. My original cartoon concept was too ambitious for the slice of time-pie that was available to me this week, but I’m pretty happy with the level of balloonie goodness achieved.
Some of you maybe wondering what happened to Pickledog the past month? Just like this little green balloon, the month November got a little out of hand, which is exactly why Pickledog has been as scarce as a reindeer in Whoville.
And speaking of pie.. I hope of of my American friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving with much pie, turkey, and fixin’s.
