Artist's Comments

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

weeeeeeeeeeell this is a Tove! "a species of Badger. They had smooth white hair, long hind legs, and short horns like a stag. lived chiefly on cheese."

From Lewis Carroll, of course!

Cool. Could have been drawn in MsPaint. Is it? I used to use that program for some of my earlier pictures.

This picture is a bit hard to figure out at some spots. The badger's mouth for instance. What's in front of it? And does the cheeze bounce on the floor? Kinda looks like that.

Nevertheless, pretty nice work.

I know an Umi! Hehehe, you have wonderful skills in MS Paint, and you seem to be an avid fan of Lewis Carroll's works, Bravo! I love this, where are you finding your information? All I've ever found on them is from Humpty Dumpty.

Aww, I like that ^^ B&W Art is always nice, tis' hard to make a good piece with such limited choices in colors at times, so I like this a lot :)

I like it! Where did you find out about what tove was? I love that poem...

On the simpsons a few nights ago, Mr. Burns said "O frabjious day!" and "Calooh Calay!" on two seperate occaisions. It was the episode where Mr. Burns meets a younger woman and he gets homer to help him impress her.
