So I've been feeling really crummy on and off for about a month now. But between both kids also being sick and a deluge of cartoon work, I didn't get into the doctor until yesterday afternoon.
Surprise surprise, I've got varying infections in varying places, and, long story short, I'm officially sick. But here's the upside...
While I was out procuring my prescriptions, the boy did this for me:

In case you can't read it it says:
Hi Dad! Nobody likes being a sicko so I made this to cheer you up! Happy Holidays, Henry.
I'm still sick, but I feel great.

This really did happen. We were driving home and he actually says "this is the fourth best doughnut I've ever had!"
As soon as we hit a stop light I jotted it down on the back of a bank receipt. It sat in my office in the idea box for months until this morning at 4 AM when, for reasons I don't pretend to understand, the other three doughnuts popped into my head.
I knew if I got up to write them down I'd wake up the Mrs, so I repeated them under my breath over and over until I figured they'd stick in my head.
I got up around 5, got my coffee, and a few hours later I had what you see above. It was so much fun to draw!
Anyway, hope you enjoy it!
This morning we picked up Ty Templeton's awesome How to Draw Batman book at the library, and the boy has been drawing ever since. Here's his Batman to ease you in to the weekend:
