tHIS STRANGE COLLECTION OF SQUIRRELS & SLOTHS INITIALLY BEGAN AS A JOKE. i HAVE DRAWN A PRIVATE COMIC STRIP BASED ON MY RELATIONSHIP FOR YEARS, WITH ME AS THE SLOTH, HER AS THE SQUIRREL, AND PEARL THE PUTU BIRD AS OUR CAT. wE COME UP WITH IDEAS FOR ME TO DRAW THAT USUALLY MAKE FUN OF EACH OTHER. MORE CHARACTERS CAME ALONG WHEN i STARTED PAINTING THEM FOR A COMMERCIAL ART EXHIBIT ON ALBERTA. i AM NOW ANIMATING THEM.
