Better than drawing you as a puny monster, no?

A lovable, maternal, giant monster.

You can draw me as a monster, Petey “Potterpoop” ☺

Love Petey in panel 3.

Oop is right, there is no taksies backsies.

You’ve said too much Petey.

Stop digging that hole Petey.

Oops is right Petey.

Giant monsters are cool!

Some lessons are learned to late.

Should I have not….said that?!….

And what color did you use, mostly?

BUSTED! Out of his own mouth. :D

He looks like he’s being polygraphed

Maybe focus on “not so scary” drawings, Petey!

It’s Petey’s form of homage.

I’d think it was pretty cool…

“Um, well, uh, Momzilla was really quite nice!”

Ok…the question appears to be; did she read him his Miranda rights first. Self incrimination is something I would think he would have gotten under control by his age. I had gotten it down by his age …BUT this IS a comic strip…

Take your foot out of your mouth, Petey, so you can start chewing your arm off.

Peter Otter*oop*

Peter Otter- oop

Giant monsters are cool though. I guess not everyone is cool enough to see that.

I want to hear Petey use the word “kaiju!”

I’m surprised Madeline doesn’t see the endearment and affection behind those types of drawings Petey does. Either way, a pretty innocent venture. Lesson learned Petey, you can often fool Alice, but mom is sharp as a tack.

I would be perfectly happy to be drawn as a giant monster. As long as it was a plausible sort of monster. And I could fly.

Our middle school grade was learning about Renaissance Italy across various disciplines. In connection with the Bestiary of Leonardo da Vinci, we were given an assignment to show in words and a picture a symbolic beast of some kind, based on exaggerated traits of an acquaintance or family member. Some of these were quite well done, but families were not thrilled.
