The last 2 pictures posted are actually the first two on the zine. I wasn't sure about posting them because I've already shown you so many pictures of these two, but since I've shown you the other 5 critters of the zine, it didn't seem exactly fair not to show them.
COFFEE the crow is yes, my "artist friend" who has adopted the name "Ble Curie de Sans" (Black Iridescence). No, he did not make this zine; I did. Really.
The critter on the first page?
BILBO my trusty pal in the Irrigation Ditch. I hear Red Ear Sliders are popular pet turtles in the U.S. Bilbo would be elated to have an owner do something about her shell situation. A casual observer may not notice right away, but it stopped growing at a certain point while the rest of her body kept getting bigger, so in some places, it looks like she is wearing a playsuit instead of being completely hidden by armor.
I've sketched so many turtles--I counted 49 pictures the other day--they hold still so are ideal for amateur artists like me.
I hope the other critters understand I might draw them less, but I still consider them ideal friends.

I have an appointment to a dentist in Shinjuku today. A temporary "cap" has come off one of my front teeth. Again, God seems to have yanked the temperature down a few degrees for me, looking at the week's forecast--thank You so much, Father!
