Tha Rats Are Coming!

More concept drawings today… I’ve decided that the rats are going to be the heroes of Book 6. They are the only characters, beside Jimmy Jay, to appear in all six books. It turns out that there’s something special about these mysterious little guys. If you’ve ever had pet rats, you know that the really are special.

Chore Day, Jan 9, 2021, Plus Larry and Gary, the Ubiquitous Rats

Gary is taking advantage of Larry’s good nature.

Today I did the laundry and the vacuuming, but I passed on the yard work. I had planned to prune several trees, but it was freezing and I just didn’t feel like leaving the cozy house. Or was I simply procrastinating?

Larry and Gary, my pair of rats, have appeared in the first two Jimmy Jay books as background characters. They’ve been completely silent so far, but who knows, they may one day be heroes.
