    You know what?! This is the most hysterical and down right ADORABLE thing I've seen yet. The looks on the little racers' faces are sooo PRECIOUS! I think my favorite cars are Hopper's and Cracker's. But the looks on Hopper and Sizzle's faces is the best.

    Tobias Tortoise, former member of the Tuskaloosa-Thunder Race Team is a character to remember for sure!

    Thanks for my early morning guffaw!

    Bravo to you!

    Loving these little fellas!
    This is a page right out of a gorgeous children's book! If you haven't illustrated for one yet, you should consider that:)

    These are ridiculously adorable. But that's been well enough covered by everybody else, so I'll just say that I like the background, and the way it bleeds off at the edges. =)
