In fact, here's a little bit of "Doodle Penance" for our failure to deliver on our two-posts-a-week promise.
Someone came to the blog last week looking for "balloon critter." I'm pretty sure we know what he or she was looking for...
I welcome any speculation on the cartooning influences and subtexts in the image above.

This may be waaaay off base, but my guess is that you're riffing on two of the big news(and I use that term lightly) stories of last week: that "balloon boy" brouhaha and the release of the WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE film.
The presence of the balloon is totally a contribution of the search engine—nothing to do with the balloon hoax.
But yeah, I was feelin' a little Sendak when I drew that critter. I'm glad it comes across.

No, Anonymous, it is NOT an Ewok, though I get where you're coming from. Maybe an Ewok-Wookiee hybrid? An Ewookiee?
