Flip

[By me. Click for a larger squirrel.]

That’s Flip, the pancake cook of Squirrel Forest.

It’s totally normal to test the shades of colored pencils on a scrap of paper, isn’t it?

[Elaine said that I had to post this scrap. And just to be clear: I was testing at home, to make sure I had the right colors for my purposes.]

I love Flip!
I love your little drawings.

And I love how people test pens and pencils on scrap pads at art stores. :)

Thank you, Fresca. And I forgot about testing in the store. It is normal, isn’t it?

I think that it's abnormal not to. You wouldn't buy an automobile without a test drive.

At Bob Slate Stationer last month, I was surprised to find no little testing pads. Perhaps they had good reason to do away with them. (Oh, the times we’re in.)

That's just wrong.

Amen.
