Tuba-Goose Friends

I haven'e spent much creative time with my nieces, and I realized that I was forgetting our characters, so this post is a list of what I can remember. I will update it as I remember more.

• A giraffe (I took the story-line from Chuck Taylor from this character). She asked for a giraffe on a shopping trip, and I drew one coming back from a shopping trip with an old shoe, explaining that giraffes are not very good with instructions, and neither is her uncle.
• A river otter/ air conditioner repair man who uses nothing but artichokes because river otters rarely publish their research in journals for peer review.
• The otter came up in another drawing looking for a job on craigslist (his AC repair business wasn't doing so well), but the old log that he was using as a laptop did not have internet access (could not log on; otters don't understand the internet), so he was trying to fix it with artichokes.
• an alligator who tried to make a Christmas tree out of junk laying around the swamp, but it bore little resemblance to a Christmas tree (at least to anyone else; it was pretty much a pile of junk around an old bent axle). He took some critical parts of a boat that wound up crashing and bursting into flames in the background.
• A buffalo who wanted to drive Nascar and rigged a cattle car to a race car with roped attached to the steering wheel and pedals
• A platypus who went to the hairstylist to get a haircut to make him look more like a duck
• Figgle - He was a fig that was pickled. It was a terrible culinary decision, but it worked out really well for the fig because he is never going to rot, and no one is ever going to eat it, so he is going to last forever, immortal... in a jar.
