Howdy hey, welcome back to the Esoteric Whale! Sobering thoughts for all! They’re free by the dozen.

This drawing is more in line with EW’s look in my more recent work. Before you a complete shift in this direction, I’ve got a comic or two more lined up in the “old” mushy style.

When I drew this изоброжение of EW, I must have been surrounded with people who seemed too enveloped in their own here-and-now. Everyone seems to rush about, not considering how lucky we are. The world would hopefully be a better place if we all just sat back and thought about what we want to say and do. Not that I’m innocent on this one — I doubt that I do enough pondering of my own.
