There’s a popular myth about alligators living in the sewage systems of New York City. Rumors about alligators coming out of sewers and the police going underground to hunt them down still exist today.
However,
Scientists are quite sure that a sewer is not a fit environment for any alligator and they would be unlikely to ever reproduce.
It’s a rumor….. but don’t tell smiling Jack!
Quite the dapper fellow.
So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We’re gonna pay a call on

Happy Gnu Year!!
When the Tomie dePaola Award contest was first announced. I was very excited and filled with ideas. The prompt choices were Tom Sawyer, Little Women and The Yearling.
My first go at it was this one for The Yearling. While I liked working on this, Tomie’s words kept ringing in my ear, “I want to see an image, a style, a vision that I’ve never seen before – all in glorious black and white!”
Hmmm… I will add this to my portfolio but I had another idea. So I ended up submitting the one below. This is my take. I love little furry creatures.
