Hot Dog!
Shaenon: Okay, I admit it. I have completely run out of Skin Horse-related art this Sunday. Instead, here are things I drew for one of my many day jobs, as an ESL tutor at the Academy of Art University.
Last semester I was the only artist on the Writing Lab staff, so the other tutors made me draw things. Like, for example, two hot dogs riding a pickle. Or sushi cats.
Or, of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger as a rabbit.
Thank you. I’m very proud.
Channing: I can’t look at the last one without hearing Ah-nold saying “GET THE HELL OUT OF HARE!” Also I am curious about these “wood trees.” How do they differ from normal trees?
It’s the cat’s expression that makes “Sushi Cats”. =3
“I’ll be buck”
I would have thought you’d be partial to the sushi cats. Heavy on the wasabi?
How can they exchange hi-fives if they only have four fingers?
(TUNE: “Blueberry Hill”, Fats Domino)
It’s such a thrill!
We’re riding a dill!
We’re hot off the grill!
Give me a hi-four!
We’re having fun,
With rainbows and sun!
You bet your sweet bun,
There’s weirdness galore!
There’s Arnold the Bunny,
From Total Recall …
This sushi tastes funny,
”Cat” stand it at all!
Now Shaenon will
Use all of her skill!
She’s drawing until
She can’t draw no more!
The hot dog on the right is waving to it’s friend, Five, and saying “Hi.” Makes perfect sense.
tune: “Bad Moon Rising,” Creedence Clearwater Revival
I see my old friend Five Nickel
I give her a friendly wave
As I’m flying on a pickle
With my cool twin brother Dave
Though sushi cats may howl
And Ahnold Hare may scowl
I’m just sayin’ “Hi” to Five
You really should be proud of those. Really, really proud. Thank you for sharing them with us, so we can laugh as well.
Sushi cats! eeee!
(Are you gong to be selling prints?)
I first read that as “nood trees”, which was even more confusing.
Funny, I saw ‘mood trees’.
You had sushi cats, and you led with high-fiving hot dogs?
I just finished narbonic, why did I never read this before.
Because you can’t read everything all at once. Be glad that you’ve discovered the Narboniverse!
…I want a print of Rabbit-Schwarzenegger. That’s too cute and FAR too good/bad a pun to pass up.
Hotdogs on a pickle? Someone needed a date, badly.
Nani desu ka? Nekozushi, nyaa? >O.O<
What did we kitties ever do to you that you're so mean to us, nyaa?
Nigiri Neko is quite disgruntled.
