Is that guy in the background pulling a cart with a Llama?
Well Cody, guess you're right, and that guy is a racoon... What a funny and creative painting right?
I have been of the mind for a long time that Racoons could inherit the earth some day. That is if Octopuses don't do it first.
Looks like a prequel to Pom Poko (though those are technically tanuki, not raccoons, but still...)
Wow! An "early gurney", always loved your covers, I hadn't seen this one before. Would love to see more, and know more about them, size, materials, process, etc...
