Those who have followed Arathi Menon’s wonderful weekly series Nothing Beastly About It would be familiar with my drawings. She’s been writing this blog for more than 18 months and I’ve been illustrating it for about that long, too. Interestingly, we’ve never run out of animals.
Here’s a bunch of them from this fabulous bestiary. You must read the stories first, though. They’re all here at her blog.
Thanks for following, and keep coming back, for this bestiary is getting bigger.
A suicidal zebra
A tale of separation anxiety
A sad gorilla
The polar bear’s hot suit
The woodpecker that did drugs
When a platypus pees
Assisted suicide wasn’t really this eagle’s thing
A cassowary on the run
Bloodthirsty is this mosquito
A turtle raises a storm
Eager beaver
A reindeer takes good advice
A leopard who loved connecting the dots

Croak, croak
Dung’s the word
