I read that first as 'Onion Slave Kangaroo', and contemplated the sort of potentate who would have a slave whose duties were devoted solely to onions. She's cute! There's something about plump 'roos...
Being an "onion slave" would square with the vaguely Indian outfit.
(Onions are apparently very serious business in India. Politicians and even entire political parties have been toppled thanks to public discontent during onion shortages. Of course, onions are food for the rabble and a potentate would probably be consuming more sophisticated vegetables. Which I guess would make "Onion Slaves" members of the most lowly social castes, so far down the totem pole that they are only allowed to serve proletarian food to the other servants? Hrm. That's sort of depressing.
Nah, can't be. Something that fluffy and chubby couldn't *possibly* be "untouchable".) :^b
Not only do I remember that ``semi-anthro fox'', but in cleaning out my storage locker I came across several rather nicely done prints of it. I also came across pieces like the pterodactyl using the Snoopy-helmet iMac, and other bits of art I've been meaning to scan and send your way. I'm fairly sure I can scan things, though I admit I haven't done much about that lately.
Don't take the invisible crab friends too lightly. They're serious business. (I did read a fascinating book about imaginary friends which pointed out many things I'd assumed without proof beforehand, such as that people outgrow them.)
I'm told that apparently the "crab" business stems from an electronic game/book Kara's been playing at her grandmother's house. The game says "I hear something weird!" and plays a sound, and the player is supposed to identify what they're hearing. Both today and yesterday Kara woke up before I went to work, so I went into her room to say goodbye to her... upon which she informed me immediately after that she "heard something weird!"
In addition to "crabs" Kara has been talking about "treasure!", another word from the game. I'm obviously going to have to get a look at this thing, because honestly I have no idea what either "crab" or "treasure" sounds like. ;^)
I was wondering what had happened to the iMac pterodactyl. ;^) I know I gave away a lot of random stuff, and of course other pieces have gotten lost/destroyed over the years.
