I love this one! Well, I always love ur illos and I bet I couldn't be able of choosing my favorite one... but, if I have to do so, Alfalfa would be in my top ten, Michelle ;)

With each of your illos I have a great time looking at all the cool details you put on it... that makes you feel as if you were part of it!

Have a nice Sunday, my dear friend :-*

Nice...if I'm not watching History or Discovery my kids enjoy the older tv shows like Andy Griffith and the Stooges...but I wonder why they no longer show the old Our Gang/Little Rascals...As far as what became of Alfalfa...I think he was shot and killed in a hunting(?) accident...Spanky was one of the last living of the group and was interviewed about 10(?) years ago...not sure if he passed on yet...

I had forgotten the name of this character with this cowlick in the hair, but I remember to have seen the little rascals : "Les petites canailles" in French ;o)
I like your sense of humour, your work is like a sunray, it is always a joy of coming to see your illustrations :o)
