This was one of those rare little drawings and words that creep up your spine with the autumn wind, daring you to wrestle them down onto paper. about 45 minutes, Papermate ballpoint pen and Micron 05. My Prismacolor brush pen was dying (well, all my pens are dying) so I dipped the tip in rubbing alcohol and “painted” with it. Some touchups were made in Photoshop to try to fix what the scanner distorted.
if you see an dead opossum in the road PLEASE check to make sure it’s not a momma with babies! it could be the difference between life and death for babies like these
did i waste useful time that couldve been spent doing maths homework making a froggy google slide theme? yes of course i absolutely did and i only have 2 regrets so im saying this one is a win

It’s not simply a farm. It’s not exactly a zoo. It’s both, and that little girl gets it.
Hawthorn-Mellody Farms was located in Libertyville, Illinois and ran from the early 1900s through 1970 (see Living History of Illinois and Chicago). In 1937, John S. Cuneo Sr. bought the farm and the Cuneo Mansion from Samuel Insull (see Cuneo Museum - Wikipedia).
Bottom:
Cuneo was also the founder of the Cuneo Press, where influential Chicago designer and typographer Burton Cherry was Director of Design and Typography.

A very angry baby who is furious that we would dare to remove his fleas, give him fluids and offer a nice square meal after someone brought him in dehydrated and emaciated. This feisty little escape-artist was stabilized and handed off to a rehabber prior to release. Good luck out there little firecracker!
Alright first redraw: the Ahuizotl! Brushing up on its lore I found some theories that it may have been inspired by the opossum, known locally as tlacuache. Considering south America’s rich history of marsupial diversity, it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine one of them taking on a more aquatic niche (before moving north to Mexico).
The ahuizotl comes from a tree-dwelling lineage that developed fleshy pads on its tail to make gripping tree branches easier. The tail of the ahuizotl now functions as a lure, twitching enticingly in the water to attract birds, young caimans, and other prey to be grappled and drowned. Though not necessarily out to get humans, they are aggressive when handled, and may have the strength to hold young children underwater.
