    But what about all the other things you can do with a tongue?

    The unibrow isn’t helpful. You can draw them like a V for anger, etc.

    The tongue above mouth should include a smile too.

    Tongue to the side=working hard.

    Mouth wide open, tongue far out=being beaten up by Sarge.

    What does it mean if their tongue is sticking out while they are concentrating on something?

    Your tongue will dry out and fall off if you keep it outside your head. (Look it up in the Diagnostical Statistical Abstract.)

    I thought tongue above the mouth meant concentration.

    “Tongue below mouth” is known as the “Q sign” in physical diagnosis.

    Not necessarily dead, but definitely not a good prognostic indicator.

    only if the tongue is off-center. If down and centered it’s a neener.

    Ooh, cartooning is SO HARD! Thanks for sharing one of the many difficult and subtle techniques required to be a good cartoonist, Mr. Pastis, sir! [leaves to practice drawing proper tongue-placement]
