I’ve posted some heavy stuff this week. So it seems time for a lighthearted break, in this case combining two things I love: animals and caricatures. I drew caricatures regularly as a kid, although not so much now; I’m strictly an amateur (a couple here are by me). And animals are a frequent topic at The Power of Story. So, I thought, Why not combine the two? Of course, many are anthropomorphisms, i.e. the imposition human traits upon them. Because, unlike animals, we make everything about us.

Thanks for the headsup Mitch re linking to my site. I’m not sure how to go about fixing this. Thank you for commenting, even if it is a roundabout route to do so.

Thanks for the fun today. I love the book “Furry Logic.” The drawings are paired with quotes and will bring a laugh to most days. Jane Seabrook does a great job!
