The word vanity comes to mind.
(well, well...my word verification = butstram)
Chickens are always the harshest critics....
Good studies!!
i agree with susan, chicks are always the harshest critics at theme parks
Seeing the different breeds of chicken is one of my favorite parts of county and state fairs. Those birds can come in some astonishing shapes and colors.
Beautiful sketch, as always!
Dear Mr Gurney,
To me it looks as if you are drawing 24h/24 & 7d/7 so I wonder why we haven't seen a beautiful drawing of your toiletroom yet?
