Say, who is this latest little critter in my little sketchbook? This is my new pet African Clawed Frog, Clawed Monet- but you can call him Mo!

Olive Owl with friends Jeanie the Jeep and a new totally original character, Monicow. Not based off any existing Popeye character, she’s the sister of Bulluto but she does not associate with that jerk.
