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.

This Friday wraps-up my unofficial Halloween illo month, which is sad. It also means one last spooky illo, which is happy! Kid Draco ate too much Halloween chocula, and is in need of a little tooth repair from his local dentorb. Scary stuff kids!

Happy Halloween to all the Pickle Friends out there!

Oh my goodness, it is rather late to be out. What was that noise? I hope it was just a friendly kitty.

This groovy and gruesome guy plays the strings on his kitty-sized string base.

Octoberfest is on ’til the break of dawn, but on these warm autumn days the local squirrels are busy gathering nuts, and seeds for Squirrelfest. What is Squirrelfest? My friends, Squirrelfest is wunderbar.

Halloween Candy Shop

The local Candy & Nuttery is all dressed for Halloween. Their shop window is filled with spooky, and sugary treats shaped like skulls, eyeballs, and bats. The Nuttery is famous for having the most delicious candy apples around! For such a healthy fruit, apples work very well with sugar.

Being type A Positive didn’t make Dougie any more popular with the type O Negative clique. That’s o.k. though cause he didn’t want to go to the immature dance with Battina any way. Boo…

Something different for the theme island.
